Does anyone have any idea how much I should be offering a first year apprentice,
He has given me a hand in the past and is a very hard worker so feel the NMW for apprentices is a little to low for him.
Also is there funding avalible etc?
Cheers
I taught a PAT Testing training course in a hotel last week. My customer, who organised the course, had told the hotel staff I was coming, and it seems they panicked, and booked somebody to come in and test their own stuff. I think they were worried in case I noticed that they hadn't had it...

Just wondering what everyone's doing with structural calcs? I'm pretty sure our main competition doesn't do them at all (along with SAP calcs). We've been recommending them where we think they're necessary but haven't been doing them for every job. We found early on that local guys were going to...

I know comments have been made when discussing this subject in the past but I've just been reading something completely unrelated and a thought popped into my mind:bulb2:

I'm getting annoyed with suppliers refusing to pay the first few days generation. We fill all our paperwork in on the final day on a laptop and print off everything including handover documents e.t.c. We then fill in the customers FIT application and mail it on the way home. So why do suppliers...
I thought I would post this after reading about sparks going to work in Afghanistan but having to pay uk tax.

So you earn £1000, IR takes £400 leaving you with £600, not good you're £400 down.
But if you pay the £600 into a...
There is another thread talking about the need for structural assessments but how do you pay for them?
Is the customer's deposit taken and a clause in the contract stipulates that if the structural survey fails (or re-enforcement is required but the customer doesn't want to do it) then the cost...
Hi all, I'm newly self employed and was wondering if anyone knows of any good laymans guides on the kinds of things that can be claimed for when filling out the self assessment forms. Having waded through the HMRC website I have a reasonable idea but real life examples are always useful.
