I have one employee, reasonably happy with him and just wanted to check what small companies like me are paying their staff.
I want to keep him so am not interested in the minimum wage.
I have been paying sixty pounds per day plus 5.6 weeks holiday per year. We work from 8.30 til 4ish.
Cheers guys.

Spot on

[Frankybadboy]

£55 aday with bonus if he hits daily targets and get new customers work 8.30 to 4.30

[simon w]

Similar working hours than yourself but more often a job in knock and finished earlier than this £80.00 per day.

If you value his efforts as an employee makes you a decent profit then pay him accordingly, it's a relative question as one small business may gross 100k per year where another does 50k

How fair his salary is depends on how much effort and profit he brings to your business

[PurefectWindowCleaning]

I pay £7 per hour...

We have just returned from an Indian, which I paid for and do little treats like that every so often

[robertphil]

what age is he

[TomCrowther]

Cheers guys, he is 25 nearly 26.

[easy clean]

I pay my guys 40% of what they turnover, so they earn on average £100 a day. This way if its a slight drizzle they work instead of just sitting in the van. Also any complaints get done in their time.

Do you let them quote jobs then? What if they quoted 100 for a gutter clean thinking I can get £40 out of it, and end up not getting the job cos its only a 1 foot gutter 

see what i mean?

[easy clean]

They know how to price jobs (windows) cos they're doing them day in day out anything they're not sure on I go and quote and 9 times out of 10 I will quote it higher than them anyway. 

[TomCrowther]

He works alongside me, two man set up. He doesn't quote jobs but is pretty good with the customers and tries to do a good job. By the sounds of it, I am paying him about right which is good. For him and me.

Not really.
You needed the money-your boss needed a worker.
It's a business relationship you decided to enter into.
You'd've been ripped off if he didn't pay you what you'd agreed initially.
