pay should be first 2 hrs £25 p.h for antisocial hours.

 

if you stop for fuel on the way to an early start there may be someone serving in the shop, they should be on a higher rate too, just means you paying a bit more for your fuel

Antisocial hours are you for real. For getting up and going to do your job.

Just thought I'd chip in here... for us, we all have to start at the workshop at 6am, and i have a 30min drive, so my first alarm goes off at 4.30 (I have 3 alarms).
So start at 6, load truck and have a coffee, off by 6.15/30, on site around 7.30/8 (depending on location and traffic), finish on site between 3/4pm, back at workshop about 5-ish, home about 5.30/6-ish. 10-12 hour day.
Suck it up, get up early, earn yer cash.
Just to add to that though, i regularly sleep for 12 hours a piece on the weekends [emoji16]

Oh sorry, just to clarify, I also did that for the euro equivalent of 10quid an hour for a while, when i was 23 and just moved to Deutschgermanyland.
Now, 5 years later, I'm a head foreman and get a lot more per hour, plus more tickets, HGV licence, etc, etc.

But I still get up at 4.30am....

I prefer to get in. Get the job banged out and happy client. Bugger off home.

 

you want to be onsite for 0800 so 0700 start is reasonable.
