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

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....
