How what 

[ronnie paton]

window washers he says the minimum of £60 or 33% its pretty simple to understand

£170 would be per man richy and should be achievable with the right work.

David man and a van turns over 40k he's wages 12-13k fuel ect 8-10k

Just a quick one.. I'm at £1500 per month.. I want to go down south for a month. My brother needs work - has anyone else employed someone and then managed everything from another city?

[Davo]

So, if i shared a van with an employee as a number two, and we achieved £350.

25% of £350 is £87.50.Half for me, half for him, £43.75 each.

Is this, in very simple terms, correct?

No slumpy, he pays each man 25% of gross daily take. If 2 men go out on a van then each recieves 25% of the daily gross for that vehicle, which equates to 50% of the days gross on that van.

Its a good way for mr pryor to have control of his highest cost, labour. And also a good way to factor in cost to work schedules.

ronnie is correct - each man will normally do no less than £170, but they get paid £60 or more.

For example, last Friday the big cheese and myself cleaned £386 - we work at the same speed so its fair to say we both cleaned £193 of windows.

£193 x 33% = £63.69

now, do I pay the additional £3.69?  No, I may be a Scotsman but I'm not mean, I bumped it up to £70 and totalled up for the week.  I also buy his lunch for him.  That may sound like I'm being soft but really when you break it down, even if I have spent £15 on diesel for the day then he has still made me an additional £100  more than what I have done.

Anyone who employs long term will understand that if they are worth keeping then they are worth that bit extra.
