Sunday Hours.

[Mick Stockbridge]

I,ve priced a job today that can only be done on this Sunday coming. I,ve priced it with wages at time and a half for three people. I have ample work at the moment and dont really want to work on Sunday nor would I ask anyone to work unless there was some incentive.......Anyway my question is, how many of you would do the same ?........Youre answers wont sway me in any way, I,m just interested as to who would or would not pay more for Sunday hours.

NOt so much sunday hours, more like short notice price! If it can only be done this sunday then you will have to postpone that other £3000 job you were going to do this weekend. wink!

 

Working sundays can be fun if the job is right. It can feel like a day off that spend doing tree work! As long as your happy with the job and the client then a little extra pay is all you should need to make it worthwhile.

 

Soemtimes if the job or customer is crappy then no amount of money will make it worhtwhile working on a pubday!

we work Sundays occasionally when it is a rush to get a contract finished for a deadline. Saturday is paid time and a half, and Sunday is double time !!!!!

[Dean Lofthouse]

I near double my day rate Mick.

 

Last job I did on a sunday was roadside and needed second climber just in case. I would normally have done it for £600 and I think I put in £1100

Sorry Mick, Double-bubble on the Sunday!

Okay as there is only one Aspen to climb, the rest being felling. I,ll do the climbing and have Rich as a groundie on double time which equates to time n half climbers money. Wriggled out of that one nicely. The wife will get double time aswell, which will make it £30.

[Andy Collins]

BUT if Rich is a quicker climber (than you) then he will be aerial for less time, you will be on site for less time, so you may save more money paying him more and less to yourself:001_tongue:

Only done one Sunday in the last 12 years; was my first and intended last. For an emergency, treble time minimum but I'd more likely not get involved - pass the work elsewhere.
