Chinky

Hey Everyone

I run an electrical company with my business partner and we are moving forward farily rapidly at the moment. We currentyl have a mixture of subcontractor's and employees approx. 8. We would like to have everyone employed.

I am looking for some advice on the following subjects:

-Work hours and how pay structure is set in most companies.
We currently pay 8 hours per day onsite and no travel.
1.5 times after 10 hours per day
1.5 times on a Sat - Full day
Double on a Sunday - Hours worked

-Working away from home - 90miles+ from the yard.
Hotel
Breakfast
Dinner
£20.00 extra per night

Is this the norm or do employees get paid from leaving the yard until they return to the yard.

I look forward to your replies.

No cause its shop rate we work that we leave yard at 8 and be back there for 4, doesn't matter if its local or long distance. It can turn out to be a very short day ha :). Of course if we are working extremely far away and staying in digs then that's different we get £20 per night for meals etc once accommodation is paid for.

Good luck with the rapid growth Chinky!
 
i've been working away for 5 years in the caravan park distribution industry for 2 companies. im away from home most weeks mon-fri, loading up and picking up job files on either a friday afternoon before 5.30 or monday morning after 8am. travelling is paid both ways in my company van, bandb or hotel paid for by company, usually 25-40 pounds, evening meal any price just not stupid, and breakfast is paid for also.
 
What we have been doing recently, even with the PAYE lads, is giving them a price. Then it's up to them how much or how little they earn. You have to do your maths carefully for this one, but it is a great way of making sure they pull their fingers out.

As for working away B&B paid and office booked, evening meal paid (any reasonable amount) and £10 beer money.
