Thanks for the comments and taking the time to do so. I’m not the finished product, and I’m not capable of everything, but I don’t find many people are that I have met so far. in terms of my ability I would say I’m competent. I am doing decent size sections fells and crown reductions, as I mentioned been asked if I wanna do some crane work coming up, so the boss thinks I’m capable otherwise he would not ask me. I'm based in the South West, our work is mixed we do both commercial work and private work, we have been doing more commercial work recently, the area is quite saturated lots of tree surgeons around here. We are always busy which is nice plenty of work coming in and I know that we’re not the cheapest company around but equally not the most expensive. in terms of my wage per month as a percentage of the companies monthly turn over, I am not told that kind of information and would not be told if I was asked. I’m not wanting to step out of line at all just looking for a non biased opinion and wanna know if I am wrong in thinking I’m not being paid fairly for what I’m doing.

Hi, i am in my mid 20's been working a Arborist for over 3 years now across the south of UK, i started with no experience, my employer put me through the usual tickets (ariel rescue, chainsaw maintenance and cross cut, small fell, chain saw from rope and harness and first aid with forestry) I work for a small company there is 3 of us employed, the boss, myself and apprentice lad who joined within the last few months who i am training, we have subbys in when the boss is not around, i am responsible to delegate the work to them and call the shots so to speak, even though they are getting paid alot more. I am climbing most days and in charge when the boss is not there, the boss man is not around usually 1-3 times a week when he is quoting and doing admin, I am responsible for the work to be done to a high standard. It would be fair for me to say that i have a good attitude towards work, i do not arrive late, I've taken 3 sick days in the last 3 years and i always look to learn and push myself, I have been asked to do some crane work that is coming up. I am currently getting paid £110per day i am employed and on PAYE so my tax is paid and NI my take home at the end of the month is £1928 but I cannot help but feel like I'm being underpaid for what i do and the value i bring to the company. Am i being paid fairly for what i am doing? I appreciate this may be vague and not give a full picture to make a judgement, please ask me questions if you wanna know more.
