My gear or the companies gear?

[munkymadman]

thanks for the exceptionally fast reply. well everyone barr none says go for it and i've learnt not to ignore good advice. he's an old employer, actually my first employer a wee buck of 17 blunting all his saws i was. thats why i didn't want to take advantage, and come to a compromise that would suit both. and yes he knows i'm around for a year, he's a complete gear junkie, you should see how much stuff he owns. you'd think we do huge removals day in and day out.

 

so no one gets paid a fee for using their own gear?

Only the bartletts boys, and they usually seem to have minging gear anyway.

When I used to subbie to fountain,their own men had their own saws and were paid an hourly allowance for there use,all their ppe and climbing gear was provided, as far as I know.

stops them abusing the saws and encourages good practice and maintenance i suppose. not an entirely bad idea for a big company IMO. I couldnt see it working with most smaller outfits

Why??????:wave:

fair comment I guess lol

 

I can see why in a big company they would do it. multiple crews all over the place, making it hard to keep tabs on equipment, who's using it, how theyre using it.

In a small crew where the boss is there the whole time, he's more likely to notice and stop it happening.

 

that was my thinking anyways
