Hi Rob,
As I say I am merely a manager, if the wage is set at that I go with it.
I £7.50 has been suggested, I suggested in return to start at £7.25 then raise to £7.50 if they are good.
Personally I would rather pay them per house (I have some on an old contract where this is the case), that way the company knows exactly what money they have coming in, the cleaners have a huge incentive to go the extra mile. But hey ho.
We clean service families accomodation.
