£10 per hour + holiday pay + sick pay + expenses + the non paid extra work involved when working for yourself (canvassing pricing, traveling, sorting tax returns and so on) you wouldn't be much better off if any being self employed and knocking semi's out at £5 a
pop.
Yeah i get the point you make. However the package you describe above, i've only really seen attributed to commercial cleaners. I've never come across Domestic cleaners on such terms. Infact, this might show better what i've come across, its from here.......but its also my personal experience too.
Someone done the math for me.......
Realistically, we know £5 a house is no good. But there sems to be no problem paying subbys or employees FAR less. Infact i've never come across a business model with such a high mark up, have you ? There's loads more examples in that section too..... someone is making money off them, and selling the work when they want at them prices.... and employing too.
Like i say, the danger is if the £5 guy, is any good , knows what he's doing and ups his prices..... of course we all started off charging £20 a house so we can't comprehend where they are coming from.
