Am all commercial, so you just have to get on with it, I wouldn't  be happy if my staff phoned and questioned the weather

I still have to go out an am first out an last home so it's a case of work quick and keep warm.

Absolute nightmare when windows freeze over tho and in this case there's nothing I can do

In a nutshell they are employed on 'flexi' time basis, if weather interrupts a day's work they get paid for the hours worked, catch up later in the week or Saturday.

If you do a search you'll find loads more interesting threads

Mine get paid on the hours worked. Understanding we all have between us.

I Pay my lot £1000.00 pcm, plus commission. That way they are guaranted that much a month if the weather is bad. They normally earn about £1500.00 to £2000.00 per month

Darren do you have a contract written out for that or is it simply a verbal agreement?

[Smudger]

Yes Matt,

Term of employment, 12 wky reviews, procedures etc...

Unfortunately it's the way of the world to have a paper trail

Darran

It was a joke, Steve.
