If i was to take on employees, I would pay around about £7 per hour + BONUS. Rewards for hard work,

i would probably also have a deduction system aswell, where if they lost a job, due to poor work etc.. then there'd be wage docks ;D

It would be better to get a load of Eastern Europeans working for you for 2 pound an hour, give them accomodation in your garage, and they will work harder than your typical British worker.
If they don't work hard enough, dock their wages until the do ;D ;D ;D

Have thought about employing EU workers but think it would put a lot of our customers off using our services

I have a college student who works saturdays and some hoildays and I pay her £10 per hour.

I do have a turnover of over £60 per hour when she doea work so it's cost effective.

the full badness is you will have to pay another 11% of their wages to the treasury plus holiday pay.

I used to pay guys 40 quid an hour, but if they didn't do 20 houses an hour, I'd sack'em  ;D

She must be a good cleaner and she certainly deserves it then,

If shes only doin a few hrs though youve escaped the dreaded employers contributions.

You'd be reassesing your hourly wage if she was full time mate.

im employing a bit early iv just had a contract drawn up for my lad but im only paying £7 per hour to begin with so that i can leave him while i go n build the business i will definately reconsider his wages when i can financially afford too, i think if you find cleaning windows hard and boring and repetitive and most of us earn 20-30quid an hour then there certainly going to get fed up with it earning any less than £7. id love to pay him more as hes a really hard worker

theyre all talking s..t
window cleaning is the worst paid job in the world and anyone who says they pay more than 7 quid per hr is a bull s....er and the are doing it to make themselves feel good about theyre own misgivings

yes.... if you work for yourself, you can earn a good living, but it is a lifestyle business, so DONT KID YOURSELF

some of you on here make me cringe......you admit to earning an absolute fortune, but hey........you aint never going to be a millionaire....unless you win the lotto

so wobble your heads and wind your necks in....... and go to work on sundays....jokers


controversial, or what?
