Am all commercial, so you just have to get on with it, I wouldn't  be happy if my staff phoned and questioned the weather

I still have to go out an am first out an last home so it's a case of work quick and keep warm.

Absolute nightmare when windows freeze over tho and in this case there's nothing I can do

In a nutshell they are employed on 'flexi' time basis, if weather interrupts a day's work they get paid for the hours worked, catch up later in the week or Saturday.

If you do a search you'll find loads more interesting threads

I Pay my lot £1000.00 pcm, plus commission. That way they are guaranted that much a month if the weather is bad. They normally earn about £1500.00 to £2000.00 per month

Darren do you have a contract written out for that or is it simply a verbal agreement?

Term of employment, 12 wky reviews, procedures etc...

Contract 40 hours per week, we only stop when we can't safely work. The last time that happened was in 2010 when we had all that snow.
