groundie pay

[Mark Bolam]

Remember there is a vast difference between an 'entry level' groundy and a hard working, reliable, switched-on one with experience and skills.

Unfortunately you are worth what someone is willing to pay, but having said that make sure you are the best groundy out there, & they can't do without you, then you can command a higher day rate.

A groundie with all tickets climbing etc lots if experience I think £100 is spot on

 

 

I don't care how many years experience and tickets they've got.

Sure, it's relevant but they're either great or good or bad at the job and that is what dictates their monetary worth.

IMO.

To me invitation is what earns you more money not having a wallet full of nptc cards, pay my regular lads 80a day all they need to bring is ppe and lunch I provide the rest, if they go above and beyond they get a bonus be it £, breakfast or help getting new stuff. Some people just get 'it' whatever that actually is and without realising it make my days easier or run smoothly so makes me more often by doing the same thing as the next lad but without any drama or just simply quicker like raking up, fueling saws while I talk to the client.

As said a good groundsman is very different to someone who turns up and drags brash so is worth more and will get more work.

Thanks for all the advice guys I think I've just under priced myself and will have to take it on the chin this time and learn from it

I can't see why a groundie should be on any less than a climber tbh

[Gray git]

Only time should be if the climber brings more gear to the party imo as it's a team, one cannot function without the other and without cooperation nothing works well.

10 bob a day and all the woodchip he can carry home
