Yes and I agree with what your saying too. I guess id the right person comes along you have to pay them enough to keep them. And a 30 year old is likely to want more than a 20 yr old. SO if you want the 30 yr old then you have to pay for it.

 

Of course if the 20yr old is simply a better employee, for whatever reason, then you should pay them more. The younger you are though the more time you have to get experience and therefore extra money, and so a little less pay now and a good job where you cna learn will pay you well in the long term.

 

It was a general comment I made, of course all circumstances are different. Generally older folk seem to be more reliable but of course there are plenty of exceptions form young and old.

 

There is the genuine point though that 30 yr olds are cheaper to insure for driving, and that is a good thing. However I know some 20 yr olds brought up on a farm drivign tractors and trailers who I would much prefer to have driving my vehicles than someone older with no experience.

Mine gets £60 a day plus ppe and I get him decent climbing stuff, his choice of harness etc. I give him a bonus two or three times a year. usually £250 - 500 depending on how things are..... if things dont pick up soon he'll be getting a tenner at easter though LOL.

sawdust, you shouldn't have to pay him anything when im climbing for you. in fact he should pay us both. i'd give him £55/60 a day.
