Cheers james I was thinking about that but wasnt sure .

Between £7-10ph depending how good and how quick they are.
If they are worth there weight in gold also add a bonus on completed monthly work by them hitting targets.

I thought 2014 was gonna bring cheap labour from Romania. Looks like the daily mail lied to us.

No luck eh?

£7 per hr is ok for a young lad but for a man with a family, 8hr day is only £56   I think is poor and they would still have to claim benefits which would defeat the point of working. paying the living wage + some sort of bonus should be the starting point and no crappy zero hr contracts

That makes it £280 per week and £14,500 per year, its not a bad wage for window cleaning staff, is it?

[Richard iSparkle]

we have a pay scale...

min wage plus attendance bonus of £125/month for being on time and in work every day to start

min wage plus attendance bonus plus £100 bonus for hitting targets expected @ month 3

min wage plus attendance bonus of £150 plus £150 bonus for hitting targets expected @ month 6

they get bonuses for signing up new clients or getting jobs in for us

they are also paid to complete their work list and then they can leave.  so paid for 8 hr days, but regularly leave at 7 hrs (so in effect it's not min wage)

Pay scale is good because it gives them a feeling of progression and achievement as their value to me improve.  also, it encourages them to want to upskill fast, and makes them want to have their review at month 3 and month 6.

attendance bonus is great because they hate loosing it, especially toward the end of the month

bonuses are great because you can withdraw them at any point you wish, so if they leave without notice you can not pay their bonus, if they do misconduct you can not pay it, whatever, so it gives you some leverage against them.

I pay my employee 12 pounds an hour and he works hard so deserves a good wage. He is 42 so I would not dream of paying minimum wage. He also gets a bonus if we have a good month.

[Richard iSparkle]

He is 42 so I would not dream of paying minimum wage.

I pay on performance not related to their age

What do you pay yourself then pal?

£15 an hour?

Thats £27 per hour x 8 hours = £216 just in wages.

Add on all your other outgoings.

Now add on the money the business is making in profit.


You must earn a phat amount each day...
