Maybe the answer to employees letting you down is to sub out your work ( under your name ) and have a contract with the subby saying if i dont get paid or if there is a complaint from a domestic or commercial custy then youdont get payed for that job . Then if the subby is NORMAL he will want to do a good job because he wants to get paid . it would work for me anyway , surely then everyone is happy

I have 3 subs at mo as well as employees....... mix it up!!!

Found out (after we sacked one) that he had been lying to the custies about us, saying how we bullied him into doing things he didn't want to (what work and cleans windows ::)) and that we used to dock his pay all the time ::)
She saw right through him and told him to grow up apparently.
Oh yeah we sacked him, but that was after he pranged the van twice (whilst reversing to turn round) lied about it (both times) marked worksheets as work done (when it wasn't) and finished early one day, took the van home and we caught him doing his neighbours and nearby ones, taking all the money himself. He got his sister to answer the door when we knocked and she said he wasn't there ??? So why was the van........we just sat and waited, eventually he came out  and said I'll bring the van back now, no we took the keys and drove it back ourselves........shame his car was still parked outside our house, so he had to walk 3 miles to get it. By the time he did this, his last wage packet was ready along with P45.
We found a discipline record the other day(you have to keep records when you issue warnings etc) made for some comical reading 5 years on, but at the time....... >:(
