Wages getting cut!, what can i do anything ?

[Maestro]

A mate called today to see where i was working and if anything was going he has been working price work for about 7 years now but he is no house basher he a really good spark but just sees houses as a way to make good money and get early finishes he has worked fir the same company for the last 3 years for the last 3 months he was only getting £120 day as part of 2 man team(£240 a team) doing upgrades on 1 bedroom flats which are fully conduited not great money but he could live with because they were finishing before lunch but on Monday they just cut the money to £120 per team saying there no money in the contract he work for Enterprise I dont who it was before enterprise bought over them

Quick statement

was earning £120 a day for 3 months then money got dropped to 60 a day without a break in the contract

Sounds like someone never kept it quiet and they found out you were going home at lunchtime everyday and decided to pay you for the hours your working instead

guaranteed they are still getting the same rates for the work

sorry if its confusing, basically my mate was earning £120 a day on price work then out of the blue they have cut it to £60 i was wondering of he has any rights etc- been books in with the firm for the last 3 years

cards-in employees dont get paid day rates and then finish at dinnertime ????
they get paid an hourly rate and are contracted to work specific hours.
sounds like he's a subbie on price work as being "on the books" sounds a complete contradiction that has no relevence.
and is there any particular reason your fighting this issue for someone else ???

no just curious as to where he stands but he defo books in no doubt about it holiday pay etcj just maybe dodgy the way the company work it in if books in people are not allowed to get paid on pricework because i know if a house gets dropped he doesnt get paid the time of finish doesnt matter because if he doesnt finish till 7pm he would get anymore money
