What would you do ?

[felixthelogchopper]

I'm pretty sure that not legal, unless its in their contract and even then a decent lawyer would wipe the floor with you if you tried.

 

If you staff are heavy on gear get new staff.

 

It's called an illegal deduction from wages

[Mark Bolam]

Thats nothing new.

 

Although, why look at the dz every time you drop something out?

 

If you know where your staff are and you know there is not going to be anyone else in the dz its just time wasting, I do loads of cutting, chucking and swinging stuff without looking when I know where its going to land.

 

Different if its over a road or pedestrian area etc, well sort of but then I rely on staff to keep the coast clear when told.

 

 

I totally agree with your sentence about bombing stuff out etc.

 

 

 

As for not using lube though.

 

Serious offence = serious penalty mate.

Serious offence = serious penalty mate.

 

 

Too true, forgot it was a 046, thought it was a husky!

All concerned should get a good talking to and it should be pointed out the cost tot he business of what has happened. The business that pays them their wages in these tough times......Get that point home.

 

But, metal and plastic can be replaced or repaired much easier than skin and bone so I would count myself lucky in this position. I employ people and they do screw up but then so do I so you have to accept it. If it's an attitude problem that's different but one silly mistake, albeit costly should be forgiven as long as it's made clear what the mistakes were and that they are not to be repeated.

thanks all, i wont charge him but boy will he and all the rest of them remember it..

[benhudson treeworks]

you got to swallow it mate...

[firewood]

Single bollocking for the boy but double bollocking for the others who should have known better.

If you repair the saw yourself get the boy to help. He learns how to fix a saw and better understands the consequences of innattention to detail in a dangerous work enviroment.
