QUALIFIED SPARK ON £10:50ph In WEST WALES!!!!

He's only out of his time

Is he any good, what is he worth?

Some guys are top gun at third year of their apprenticeship, some could take seven years before they're any good.

Not sure how good he is!

Was he on the books or S/E?

He said it was a few days work so I believe it’s agency work! Or possible S/E

I'm not going to get into whether 10.50 is good or bad bit surely if he's on the books it's not just 10.50 is it, the Guy employing him as other costs:
Company van + all associated costs
Holiday pay
Sick pay
Nest pension
Workwear
Tools
Tester + yearly calibration
Ipaf course if required
Employers liability
To name just a few.
It is never just about the hourly rate, sometimes the lad receiving that 10.50 forgets what else his boss as had to pay on top of that to keep him in a job.

Exactly.....what is he worth

And some are never any good no matter how long they are doing it. Some of the sparks where I work aren't even worth £10.50 an hour, and I'm not joking!!

Then again, what sort of place is West Wales, personally I have no idea.

I've seen boys in Derry get paid minimum wage if they were working in Newry they would be getting £35,000+, if in Dublin €50,000+

Derry has always been minimum wage country as well as an unemployment blackspot.

I wouldn't even do an emergency light test for £10.50 an hour

Hi all new to this site but in the subject of hourly rate..I get about £12.00 per hour out i which I pay for my van and fuel and other costs.....last year i took home about £7500.00 so 12.50 didn't seem too bad

What are you'r other costs cause £12 an hour for 37.5 hours a week is just shy of £23.5k a year.

Mate that’s less than £150 a week take home. How the hell do you manage on that?

So about £625 pcm is that right?

 

[Brian Taylor]

Well I guess so. I think many people exaggerate about what they earn in reality wages within the contracting industry are very poor compared to others

 

[Brian Taylor]

As a matter of interest i have just added up my income and outgoings for he year 2017/2018...my income for the year amounts to £11800....I think this is in keeping with others in the area

 

[suffolkspark]

Is that your net profit? Im confused...

 

[Jay 1987]

Is it me or are these figures ridiculously small!

Are people posting figures after ....

1, taking a holiday
2, buying a new car
3, doing an extension on the house
4, buying a new pet for the kids

Is £11,800 what’s left over, Where’s the rest of the money ?
