Holiday entitlement is 28 days if they work 5 days a week, if part time, say 3 days a week it is 16.8 days ( 28 days multiplied by 3 divided by 5 )
Don't forget you will have to pay SSP if they are off sick, pension contributions, and also the payroll costs will increase when the new pension contributions comes into force.

28 days does include statutory holidays though. What it all means though is that to make it worthwhile you need the employee to be bringing in around three times their daily pay.

Yeah i know they do but some people need something better than that in their life. I would like to try and do it proper and help someone out in the future if picking up more work.

Yeah, those that come on here moaning about how crap staff are. ;)

Alternatively, if your helper is serious. Then they set themselves up as a sole trader and you are sub contracting them. You pay them the agreed wage and they sort out their own taxes etc. So ita two sole traders who happen to be working together.
Your still helping someone out in life and perhaps more so!

lol would you like to tell us how much you pay your employees then please and let others decide whether or not it's a good wage,does your employees-employee end up with much over 300 a week then does he if he does it's got to be costing you well over 25k a year to do it properly. It all depends what you call good money some might think 3-400 a day with help is good some might say they couldn't run there business on that,every situation is different who knows some might work on there own and still take what you may do with a couple of staff.

It isn't as bad as you think, you just need to grow some balls and take the jump.
Wages: easy
Payroll: Ask your accountant. Mine is £7.00 per employee.
Employers liability and public: Mines £45.00 per month.
Tools and uniform: .....
Extra water: pence
Profit: LOADS!

If you don't mind me asking James - do you pay your guys a set hourly rate or a % of turnover?
How do you handle holiday and sick pay when the guys aren't earning but your still paying out?
-
£500'a week right ok so how much more money do you think he's earning you over he course of a month then.

What about national insurance and tax contributions?
It does add up!

I am thinking about it for future. It does sound a pain though.

He's out on his own.

There is no employer's contribution for NI if there's only one employee and the tax is part of the salary.

Thats what I like, nice and concise.
-
Working place pensions contributions too?
-
So you pay him 500 a week before Tax yeah,what's he earning you extra a month after you've paid him 2 grand.
-
Plus more than likely will have to go VAT registered which is another cost paying it, and paying accountant to do it. Also the time it takes up employing people.

That comes out of their wages, no my pocket

The holiday and sick comes out of the profit.
They get paid £10.00 per hour = £80.00 per day.
2 man van takes a bare minimum of £300.00 so £140.00 profit for the day.
Some gutter days it can go to £400 - £500 and the best I've had from one van is around £900.00
I only have 3 guys. In 2 vans.
1 is working all the regular domestic work.
There other 2 also have regular domestic work, but have the gutter vac in the van.
So van 1 is always busy all year.
Van 2 takes all the new work coming in and big jobs.
I take £3000.00 a month and the rest stays in the business account.
I work 9-11 on the computer then go gym until 1 and then do quotes after if I need to.
All you need to do is plan your day / month / year in advance and set goals.

Do your guys fuel the vans up out of there own money and pay tax and insurence themselfs?? Also mot and servicing. On top of that did they fund buying the van and not you??
If so then yes £140 profit out of a 2 man van!
I think you will find your profit is nowhere near £140 a day from a van.
You have done well but i think you need a reality check.
