The cost of half an hour.

That's how we roll.

 

I hear you broth! Same here

I'm a big fan of a 1 pm finish, and price accordingly, 90% of jobs we are done by 3, no glory in raking up in the dark

Anyone claiming to work non stop no breaks no lunch etc. is obviously grafting really hard....

[Billy R]

Agreed Tony Croft.

[Ty Korrigan]

yes and if they got no packed lunch then there going hungry.....anoying isnt it.

 

employees dont have more rights than employers just put it in there contracts,employee to provide own food and water no shops allowed.easy.

 

Shame your banned, I'd like to have had a discussion with you on staff welfare and motivation.

We pay for a full 3-4 course restaurant meal most days for our staff.

If not, a huge baguette and a sticky bun.

We also have a modest slush fund for bonus payments, presents and nights out.

I do some days mate, but then I go home and have elevenses, then lunch, walk the dog in the afternoon, maybe a nap. Can't beat smashing a little job out by 10am:sneaky2:

We currently work 8.30 - 4.30 it's always been OK as we've been a small team and efficient at getting out of the yard quickly. We mostly work local and as most people don't like saws before 9 am it's worked well.

 

As we've expanded I found that more guys tends to mean more faff and leaving the yard is taking longer. I am contemplating bringing in an 8 o'clock start. )

 

I am working out how much extra it is going to cost me in wages. It works out about £1000 a year per man.... I have 4 guys.

 

It just reinforces my views about stopping for breakfast/to buy lunch having a tea before work... etc.. ect.

 

Hi Ben,

this is where I'm going wrong..... I'm the worst, breakfast rolls & coffee on route, non-stop coffee whilst there.

I make as much coffee & tea has they can drink.

Never had to encourage speed of work,never had any worries of asking a bit more, its just happens.

 

Got to say any losses are far outweighed by the gains. Also pay good money!

 

There are few on here who i have shared many mugs, sarnies, & brunches.

 

If I wanted a job that made me lots of money this would not be it, I wanted one that I enjoyed doing with likeminded people.

Could not agree more.

Have to say also.... I buy the food & drink!

Before you all think I'm soft and such like, think about it. I control when, where, how long for....so whats £20 between a team including me.

Soon make that with a motivated, happy, though a little fat team!!
