There is a way of getting round the three points on your licence. You still have to pay the fine but you don't get any points.

Its used extensively by the minicabs in London. You register the vehicle in the name of someone who doesn't have a British driving licence. The registered keeper can be anyone, it doesn't have to be the owner.

When the car gets zapped by a speed camera or a red light camera etc they write to the registered keeper to provide details of who was driving. If the registered keeper writes back and say he/she doesn't know who was driving then the penalty defaults to the registered keeper to pay.
The registered keeper then gets fined but because they haven't got a licence they can't get any points on their non existant licence.

As long as they get their money the authorities don't seem to care less about the points.

Ian, I would be very tempted to take you up on that. Unfortunately, I am not in a position to. I hope you have had some enquiries? I would be biting your hand off if my personal situation was different.

hi
is it not on target earnings
tony
Title: Re: Vacancy
Post by: Elginn on December 29, 2007, 02:44:55 pm
It stands for Over Target Earnings, what this means for example is that when you start to work for a sales company this is what it refers to.
If you sell just the alloted items say 20 cars a month then you get the normal rate. However if you sell 35 cars in a month then your earnings go up

So do more windows and you'll earn more ;D

It's on target earning, this is what our window cleaners are earning at present.

We pay purely as a percentage of work done, if you don't work you don't get paid, however if you work hard you get paid well.

We only work 5 days a week, generally 8am - 4pm(lunchtime finish on  a Friday) and one saturday or sunday morning a month (which is about 1.5 - 2 hrs work for £65)

24 days holiday a year, I don't pay sick pay other than SSP.

Ideally the right person would be able to put their hand to a multitude of cleaning tasks, including windows (trad & WFP), carpet cleaning, pressure washing, and if necessary office cleaning, builders cleans, con roofs, etc, etc.

No, it doesn't. ::)

There's no basic, overtime or bonus.  As Ian says, he pays a percentage.  That means you get a percentage of the value of work you actually do.

If you are "on target" then you are doing what the employer considers to be a reasonable amount of work and the earnings figures quoted are what you would earn at the lowest and highest levels of work achieved.
