Hi All. Only been going few months still site labouring 2-3 days a week I have been putting my fliers in there handover basket and accounted for about 30 % of my small round but got court today By assistant manager and he suggested I can carry on for £20 a property I get. I do have the 3 show homes weekly on a gd rate. So what would you chaps with experience do?

[Simon Trapani]

So if I’m understanding this correctly, you have to pay the assistant site manager £20 for every new build property you pick up  to clean windows? Bit cheeky putting your flier in but I’d tell him to stick it & go direct to the homeowners as they move in.

[Ched]

So you took advantage of you being in the houses and he is trying to take his own advantage.
If you are getting 30% on a new build estate that will be great compact work. I would say it's well worth £20 a property, but to put it down as a business expense I would want him to invoice you! If he's not happy to invoice suggest £10 a property?

[deeege]

I’d tell the assistant site manager to keep his nose out of your business.

[Slacky]

Does he get a cut when the ground workers upgrade the homeowners patio, the brickies build extra retaining walls the new owners have decided they’d like or the landscapers supply extra shrubs?

Tell him to stick it.

[alank]

Tell him you will give him the £20 only for any property that he gets for you. The rest are fair game I would carry on with the flyers and door knock everyone as soon as the people move in. Your in an ideal situation here to build a very compact round take every advantage of this.  Price well and get as many as possible.  If he's not happy then tough

Go and canvass elsewhere, start asking family and friends, start a facebook page.

Take the deal.

£20 is well worth it for first dibs at a new build, plus if you’re flyer is in the basket, there is an implied recommendation from the building company. You won’t get that kind of endorsement from just leafleting alone.

Yes he’s a bit of a scoundrel for asking, but it’s still well worthwhile, and at least now you won’t have to hide what you’re doing. You now have permission.

[Splash & dash]

I would just laugh at him and tell him to jog on 😂😂😂😂😂

How will he know how many properties you get for his £20 a pop?
Will he be declaring this income revenue on his tax return?
Will he be telling his boss that he's getting a cut from a sideline job on the development?
Sounds like he's saying carry on and give me £20 a property or your labouring job might come to an end. It's blackmail.
Good for you for trying to get on.

That's the word 👍

[Stoots]

Canvass or leaflet them in your own time not work time then there's nothing he can do.

[Adam Tarpley]

Thanks for all your responce. I think I'm gonna  do what do what stoots says I'll knock there doors. Thinking 2 days after they moved in. As it's a stress moving do you think 2 days is okay?

[NWH]

Legally you aren’t covered to clean windows on that site if you work there as a labourer,you certainly won’t be if you fall off a ladder or cause damage to a property do you think the site manger will cover for you if break you’re back.
Public liability etc it’s not just a case of there’s some windows go clean em today m8

[NWH]

They should by law employ a company or someone that is insured to be on that site cleaning windows,you should have to provide proof I had to years ago even.

[Adam Tarpley]

Also I do think it's blackmail/bribery and did toy with the idear that it's worth paying but morally it's wrong and thats nots the route I want to go. I'm going to do as said and drag it out on site till I'm got rid off

[Adam Tarpley]

Nwh yes fully insured with pl. Cscs  but that don't matter as all the property arnt on site. So where you coming from??
