salary review

[Mr Oz]

hi guys,

i just wanted to get some opinions about the how much a qualified climber should be getting roughly.the reason for that is my current employer changing my job title and contract and they will be looking into my salary.so i had a look at jobs on the net to have an idea but they confused me even more im currently working for £9 hr 37 hrs a week so this is my opportunity to ask for a pay rise or shut up and carry on:confused1:

what you guys think what i should do

 

i have just over 2 years experience with following tickets

 

cs30-31-32-38-39-41-47

Ive done a evaluation trees for hazard course

i have MEWP LICENCE

pa1-pa6 sprayin licence

im nearly finished a level 2 customer service course

i can use all gardenin tools including chippers-stum grinders etc..

done first aid at work

manual handling and h&e trained

(i know its not related but i have nvq2 joinery:001_rolleyes:)

thats all i can remember at the moment

Self employment perhaps? Employed positions are scarce (ish) just now...unless you've another job to go to tread carefully. £9ph is in my humble opinion a low rate for any tree surgeon. Never hurts to ask your boss can only say no..

Come and work for me for a day and I'll tell you how much you're worth.

 

I've had guys with more qualis than you who should have paid me, they were such a liability.

I've also had guys who couldn't write their name on paper but were superb arborists.

:lol:

:lol:we have a non read and write at work and he is a fantastic tree cutter at 17yrs....

 

i cant cut for sh1t and got loads of tickets....:lol:

[magwick]

66 quid a day? Really? Rather low for a climber mate.

[Hedge hunter]

climber 120 a day employed is standard round ere when the climber can do the job that is...

[matthawh1966]

Dont you have to be 18 years old to do tree work?. I thought i heard that some where.

No, I cant climb and can just about read & write:laugh1: I have worked with and had climbers doing work for me, 2 examples no1 had loads of tickets and all the nice shiny gear, but took over half an hour (not exaggerating) to reach the first limb of a 40ft willow (ivy), when he did finally get to the limb I wanted removing he cut it off in one straight onto a garden shed. No.2 left school and went to merrist wood for a 9 week block course and according to every arb related person who has worked with him he is the best theyv seen, hes 52 now ,still climbing likes hes in his twentys. As you say tickets mean nothing in relation to your ability:thumbup1:
