Employing 13 year old Daughter ?
« on: December 10, 2012, 05:27:46 pm »
Daughter wants to come and work with me next year leafleting as daddy will pay more than a newspaper round.

I have told her that she can only work for me if shes full insured to do so.

I have looked online and aparently i also need to ask the local council if its ok.

Has anyone else done this or is it a total pain paper work wise   ??? ???

Thanks Paul

i have my 15 yr old nephew do leaflets for me.

but i only send him to areas that i know where he would be safe, or safe enough.

pay him £30 per 1000 leaflets then as he is family 50% of the first clean if they sign up for monthly cleans! keeps him going!!!

Cute, good on your own place but not exactly a good business image to have, plus if anything happens u would be in a lot of trouble!

She come out for a few hours if her mum is busy and she loves coming out with her dad i dont think it gives a bad image as i wouldnt let anything happen to her. it just shows that even an 8 year old girl can our job.

Top job! my daughter has been 'helping' out in school holidays since she was 8 ( now 11 ) and the custy's absolutely love it
and we have a great time too.

Yer its great to get your kids involved, my 2 1/2yr old helps me out at home with my van and equipment,  but would never take kid out to a job, one its illegal to do so, plus if you are insured then if anything happens you wouldn't be covered.
