My WC end up on about £8 an hour for their typical days so were on about the same level there.

I wouldnt pay anyone £15 an hour unless they were management.

I worked for £6.50 an hour myself whilst i was doing market research for my business.

the customer services girl is great but in her own words not ambitious and want s an easy life without stress, hence her job and wage

[Nameless Drudge]

basically i offered hours of 8am-7pm 5 days a week half hour unpaid dinner

window cleaning till work done then collecting till 7pm to increase cash flow

i offered the lad £400 a week which prob works out £7.60 ish

then they began moaning saying they dont wana be out every night till that time

so i though ok finish at 5.30- 6pm and collect on tues n thursday

this hasnt materialised either really

One sentence it is the lad,the next it is they? ? ?.I didn't think you had enough work to provide him/them these sort of hours?

sorry it reads wrong its meant to say ive offered the lads.......my business has grown loads again through lots of leafletting and canvassing prob doubled in size again over last couple of months

NOW IF YOU COULD ONLY LISTEN TO ADVICE YOU MIGHT RETAIN SOME OF THEM !

to be honest most my staff have always been happy the lad working for me again now left last time because wages i was offering werent enough coz it costs him ten quid a day getting to work, i let one lad go coz i was struggling after break ins who would love to come bk but needs a licence and the other lad left coz he set up on his own the snake

lad left coz he set up on his own the snake

Richy

you will find a high percentage of your staff will go down this route, you pay peanuts, get them to work long hours and finally you get them to collect the money.

How long before the penny drops in their head and they work out that if they use all this effort, they can build a business up for themselves and then they can keep all the money.

Richey you make window cleaning sound so complicated.
You should pay a decent wage maybe 7 to £8 an hour then a bonus if they reach there daily target or pay them as output workers where they get a set amount for a set task
Also don't have them collect that's a separate job you can't expect your worker to be very productive all day then make them work late. It will just make them fed up with the job. do the collecting yourself.
