No its been asked before like many posts..
Im now at a point where I just cant cope on my own anymore and run late every month so employing a part timer is a no brainer as it will pay for itself as ill be running ontime but I need too no a few things from those who employe, Im meeting up with a nephew of a friend next week, hes 18 with no experience of window cleaning, I have a canvasser working for me at the minute 2 days a week bringing in a average of a £100 a time (£130 today) so ive got loads of 1st cleans too get through as well as my current custys, I want too do all the 1st cleans myself and not risk a new staff member doing these jobs until they no what there doing, ill need them too start at 2 days a week and add more days as I grow till full time, what I need too no is....
what too start them on a hour too start and what too put it upto once experienced?
what did you do too train them as dont want too just turn up at a job and let them loose?
what terms and conditions too give them?
any bonuses if so what?
Ive got a mate whose been a window cleaner for 7 years trad/wfp who wants too work for me, I was going too take him on but after giving it some thought I thought it best too start with a part timer as my mate will cost me £90 a day 5 days a week but I obviously dont have the work or funds too make this work yet but my aim is too build with the part timer till im in the same position as I am now then I can take my friend on....
If theres any thing else people can advise me on please add...
