Hi All,
What would you initially pay a 17 year old trainee that has no window cleaning experience at all?

£150 a day they are the future so got to pay them well to make them want to do it!! ;D
-
Weatherspoons pay £5.92 an hour for an 18 year old.

£150 a day? Is that all? I was thinking 25% of turnover - So £250

better not pay less than them then or he'll go and work for the instead ;)

Well it's never likely to happen but I reckon I would aim for the *adult* minimum wage for starters (as opposed to the youth minimum wage). It would be important to show how high the wages could go if he/she puts in the effort because that should keep someone interested rather than believing that they will always be on minimum wage.
-
It depends on what she'd be prepared to wear.

He's only going to be a trainee in the morning I'd be more concerned with what your going to pay him after dinner.
-
Pay him the minimum wage and up it as and when you see fit, age shouldn't matter in window
cleaning a trainee is a trainee and once they are up to speed they get the full wage.

Exactly you should be able to learn how to clean a window in a few hours, after that its just a matter
of getting faster while maintaining quality.
O.K. you will come across a few problem solving tricks of the job along the way but nothing too hard to learn.

£7.50 an hour to help instill in him a decent sense of self. Let him feel better than his mates who are on less than £6.00 an hour. Afterall the difference is only going to be a bit over a tenner a day so far as you are concerned. Adopt a manner of making him feel worthy and he might return the favour.
Pay peanuts ....

I would pay him minimum wage for a period of 3 months, and then if you are happy will all aspects of cleaning, attendance, attitude etc, then review the wage at the end of 3 months.

That's a good point but you can also put them on an apprentiship, this way you will receive £1500 after 6 months which would then be a good time to see we're he's at, he may lose interest after a few weeks

Minimum wage. They automatically get an increase at 18. Incentivise it so put a bonus scheme in place for quality of work, reliability etc..

Pay a bit more than elsewhere (the pub) but not too much more.
I'd go for £60-£70 a day. (I Don't like hourly pay)
-
I pay minumum wage plus commission based on amount of work done, the lad who works for me gets about £70 a day. Hoewever if any complaints are recieved about his quality of work he will not receive commission for that day ( never happened).This seems to work well in keeping him working hard and to a good standard.
