Hi, how much an hour do you pay the employee
And what happens when it's raining do you still pay them??

[robertphil]

 i pay 7 per hour and we work in all weathers .  about 3 times a year i quit early if soaked to the skin . i always pay the full day in these cases

  generally my lot wont wear the waterproofs  if its raining , nor do i

Thanks for that, do they have set hours or when it's done?

[robertphil]

i promise them 6 hours a day as a minimum.   half an hour for lunch . pay starts on arrival at the first job

  you thinkin of takin on are you?   iv never regretted it

[Diamond standard ltd]

Yes mate we are. We are working anywhere between 12/16per day at the minute and after 20 weeks its getting to much now so got to do something as we do window cleaning Nd new build cleaning as well.

dont delay then.    be sure you tell any newbie they are on a 3 month trial period so you can get rid easy if they play you up. 

 before i took on workers i almost burned out tryin to catch up after a snowey winter on my own and i wished id took on erlier  but i wasnt sure if i had it in me .  download an employers pack on HMRC  is a good start
