  11. I am working with one groundsman two too three days per week and a climber one too two days per week. They are both self-employed but i am unsure if they are in reality bonafide subcontractors. They both do their own work outside of my business. They provide their own saws and fuel, kit etc. They both invoice me for work done each week. They have signed a document to say that they will be responsible for their own tax and national insurance. But i do guide them when on jobs as to what to do. Do small businesses get prosecuted for not having the correct employment status for workers? Is this something i should be concerned about? If they dont pay their tax am i liable? I do not have any contracts and do residental work. Would i be better using a zero hours contract or a Contact for Services? Or leave well alone?! I would welcome advice. Thanks

  18. ok I think it is fine to purge stump-grinder bearings and keep them regularly greased during day. The bearing on the fly wheel of the woodchipper though I am unsure about. Previously it had a sealed bearing but was replaced with greasable bearing by engineer. Is there any way by looking at it that I can tell if it is sealed or if it is purge-fill type?
  19. I have Jensen Woodchipper with greasable bearing on fly-wheel. I have been advised to grease every 60 hours with just 2 pumps. Does this seem about right? I was told not to purge this bearing with grease. I was doing maintenance today and it took 10 pumps without hearing any "crackling" noise of grease coming out of bearing. Also with stump grinder wheel bearing I was told previously to grease until it purges out of sides. Is this right? Thanks for any advice.

Experienced climber with ability to plan and successfully complete work with own PPE, climbing kit and saw £140.00 per day. P.A.Y.E. rates with contract. Where I pay for PPE, Holidays and Employers N.I. and all kit. 1. Groundsman/driver £70.00 per day. 2. Trainee climber £70.00 per day 3. Competent climber £90.00 per day 4. Experienced climber £110.00 per day I can get inexperienced climbers fairly easily but not competent or experienced climbers. Please let me know your thoughts
  23. Yes I suppose it is more justifiable if you are getting a deposit to cover materials for a job like fencing. Whereas tree work is mainly labour and a overheads. I suppose that I am just not confident with these customers paying me at end of job without trying to get extra work extra for free. I have not worked for them before and do not want to commit my self to three days paying three men with no guarantee of getting paid. It is just a judgement call.
