What do people pay?

[Mark Bolam]

 

 

 

It's a very good point....

 

 

 

 

 

 

But I have to agree.....

 

 

 

I know it's plumbers v electricians but, this always cracks me up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

There must be a decent computer geek that can make a tree ape v gardener version???

 

 

 

On reflection, probably not since why would a half decent computer geek be reading a forum for hairy tree swingers when he could earn 5x as much sitting in an aircon office with views over the river, surrounded by perfume and lipstick, having lunch in a Michelin star restaurant before driving home in a flash car?

 

 

Superb.

Or this one if amended to show arb consultant v arb contractor....

That is quite good,

 

There should be some sort of profiling system that you fill in so people can see what your work status is (employed, self employed, director etc) next to the post you make.

 

It would give everyone a fair chance at understanding the comments made on threads about wages and money.

 

A lot of bias going on here I think, depends whether you are a frequent user of the paying in book or chequbook I suppose.

 

On a lighter note, for over £100 someone wants to be good, really keen, a fast learner, decent machine operator, thoughtful, polite, conscientious. Then that wage can go up depending on tickets, climbing and felling ability, speed, distance from worksite and then it just depends how much you want them to work for you. Its no good trying to pay someone as little as possible a day if hes busy for the next three months and you need someone for three days next week.

Hi guys I'm new to the forum but have had a look through this topic and I'm curious as to how much value having things like a c1 or c class licence actually adds to what your "worth" and also things like cs34/35 I'm assuming very little unless it's for a big commercial contractor?

like most certificates its worth about sweet fa to an employer. Only money to be made in this game is by being out on your own!

I would value someone with a fist full of tickets that held a truck license because they are thin on the ground. Its nothing to do with big commercial contracts ,there are plenty of smaller tree surgery outfits running trucks.

Not only thin on the ground, they tend to be running their own firm rather than looking for employment.

How about the future groundie sub contractor could come with a Vermeer log lifter ?
