time off and workers working
« on: March 27, 2009, 06:45:40 pm »
had to have some time off this week due to my good lady being ill and had to leave my worker on his own for 4 days ( first time) thankfully just switched to wfp so no worry issues about safety for him. ive had him doing all upstairs windows 2-3 times for there first wfp clean to be double sure and downstairs trad, even with him spending so much longer on the upstairs it must still be a lot quicker because each day on his own hes done 30 -40quid a day less thn two of us do normally, which i think is great, one man on his own taking only 30-40 quid less than our 2 man daily target.
im lookin forward to gettin both of us set up now on wfp

i dont know if its normal or not but i was told by a lot of people it takes up to 3 cleans for them to come right coz of dirt dripping down afterwards from vents etc, so ive just tried to counteract that by doing the 3 cleans first time, but when the 2 of us where working together last week for our 1st week on wfp we made our normal daily target and a bit more every day even doing them 3 times, not 1 single complaint and i also told every customer to call if not quite right, not 1 call, so i figure next month on same houses we can do lots more by only doing each window once

What I have found and I know numerous others agree is that, one person in a van will produce one persons work, two people in a van will not produce two peoples work.
Possibly because several times per day one of the persons will be stood around doing nothing whilst the other is still finishing off.
