Having gone through this; you can write what you want in a contract doesn’t mean a solicitor/judge won’t wipe his arse with it. Bottom line is you’re paying someone to perform a task, if they need training to perform said task that is the burden of the employer to provide training (at the companies cost). Unfortunately it’s a risk/cost of doing business, if you don’t want this problem employ someone who already has the quals that is the only “risk” free way however you would be liable for the refresher courses 🤣

You will have no luck and as suggested it’s shakey ground docking final pay (although companies do it). Try putting a training plan in over say 12 months, stagger training rather then all at once and over the 12 Months they should have earnt more then enough for you to cover the training.

Yeh, I’ve tried in the past but due to let down/not collecting it’s usually caused more stress.

Hi all, after a bit of advice - we have a job coming up where we will be clearing 50/60 x hardwood trees (birch,chestnut,oak) and 300 x softwood (lawson will be chipped for bio) we now have the ability to store large amounts of timber at my yard. I was thinking is it worth transporting the hardwood to the yard and processing for fire wood (relying on haulier). The crux is we do not own any processing gear, so would look to subby that bit out and then sell it in bulk (green)by the artic load. Is there some money to be made or am I better off just chipping all of it and getting money back that way? If we can sell it bulk and there’s money we can buy some processing gear as we will start to take loads back from our jobs as we now have the storage space, traditionally just chipped everything as not had the space to store. TIA

Focus on storage and commercial business space - May need some initial investment but will pay with little hassle pretty quickly. If it’s anything like my way secure space is incredibly rare and as such expensive. Caravan storage, business storage, yard spaces etc are the way to go - invest in some decent entry gates and cameras etc get some cash flow going and finance to build the next one.

Have both the bullet and 360 cameras from rural view, they’re brilliant - both have sensor lights and hd night vision recording.

This stuff is not going on to fb or eBay it’s going straight into a curtain side/container and leaving the country. Organised crime gangs are not selling off a saw at a time - it goes to a buyer elsewhere in Europe wholesale. It’s clearly becoming easy pickings as little to no police presence twinned with little to no border checks means easy cash! Yards are getting done for everything - opportunists would take saws etc not chippers, diggers, trucks. Lack of police funding and reliance on insurance companies has created a perfect storm for the thieves.

Could a sensible, calm convo with the neighbour be worth having? although maybe not your preferred outcome, if I was your neighbour and you said you can remove the trees but you need to replace with suitable fencing I would think that’s a fair request! Least of all because you will be pursuing it further likely to cause continued time/money etc

Yeah I meant just helping to get it sectioned up! I’d want a kiss/kisses to help mill it as well.

Where are you in the country? Someone might give you a hand for a chat and cup of tea!

I’m very jealous of the guys who have made it work for them! I had visions of my vizsla being a work dog however totally the wrong breed! I was aware of their specific breed characteristics however thought I could train him….. I was wrong! Thankfully the wife works from home mostly so it worked out but point of the post is really pay attention to the breed and how you can make sure his/her life is fulfilled not the other way around.

So do I but I choose to set my own terms with companies and do not hold the accreditations. What’s the point of holding a subscribed accreditation when companies still have their own hoops to jump through!? I don’t need someone to show a client that I have a modern slavery agreement because here you go I just emailed it to you along with everything else you require, only took me 30secs to email and I’ve saved myself thousands.

Just have a chat with the client, suggest you can fulfil the criteria required and explain that you don’t need to pay a subscription service to do so. This approach has always worked with my commercial clients (multiple housing developers) and like yourself I refuse to pay for a service that ticks a box for me that I can tick myself. Of course it has stopped me bidding for large contracts but I don’t want that type of works as it’s crap.

Haha his legacy - he doesn’t care about his legacy. The man spends most of his time out of his box on numerous podcasts pushing his new cannabis products. As I said it will go the distance as Jake will have paid him for it to do so, otherwise his strength and knowledge would spark Jake inside 2 minutes. It’s orchestrated heavily, like everything/fights in his life - Jake is a boxer he trains continuously but he also doesn’t fight (relevant)boxers because he would of folded out of the limelight along time ago. Even with age against him, Mike will see his right 10mins before he throws it!

Jake Paul will have paid Mike to go easy and lose - Mike doesn’t care because who’s gonna say he’s shit? Plus he gets a massive payday. If it wasn’t rigged Mike would go all out for 2 mins and end it first round.
