what would you pay someone for day rate for forestry work

Hi there

 

Just picking peoples brains, i was just wondering what you think a hand cutter should be paid on date rate, ive been doing forestry work now for just over two months and lately the contractor has been putting me on a day rate i do a minimum of 9 and a half hours a day and provide my own saw fuel and all other equipment??

 

Cheers

[Frankie Lawrence]

What sort of forestry work is it? Can you not work on a tonnage rate?

[Lorry thompson]
