Going Back to the original post I think that you are pretty much spot on from what you described. As a matter of interest what age was he?

Haha storming off, what a premadona, you would not want to sit next to someone like that on the bus far less work with them, get someone that will apprieciate the oppertunity that is being given to them.

Hi Andy

 

He is 19 and has done 1 days tree work in his entire life.

 

By the way Adam Francis orignally from Long melford? says Hello ( he is now my next door neighbour down here in surrey ) and constantly reminds me that i should take more of your business approach.

Sounds a fair enough wage to me. I paid myself less than that self employed. If holidays etc are thrown in, plus the chance to gain experience and advance through the ranks? No brainier isn't it?

I started on £50 with basic tickets 4-5 years ago, took me 2 years to build up to £80-90, your price was spot on,

Very generous for essentially an inexperienced groundsman with a ticket. Let him go, I'd imagine there a plenty willing to work for much less, supply own ppe and no holidays! Someone needs to explain to these boyos that cs38 means nothing the first time your not just not going up and down with an instructor watching. Rant over!

[Gus McWilliam]

I work 9 hours a day for minimum wage and pay for my own ppe and I'm glad to have that. How can anybody afford to turn down a job in this economy??

[Quercus-90]

£60 a day +ppe here
