all pricework in ma company so wage varies from week to week, you can have a good week or a very bad week, doesn't help that you get messed about by the boss who is always trying to do you out of money. It does happen there are a lot of fly employers ot there who can mess you about cuz they know they can get away with it

Northern Ireland rates although they have the same JIB rates as the mainland are very poor. Someone posted to say look for £14-15 minimum. It would be very hard to find a job paying more than £11-12 for an electrical foreman working in industrial environments here. As a guide a sparky working full time on domestic will probably earn about £8/hr. I design, organise materials, build and install industrial electrical control panels on top of organising other workers and get paid not much more than £8 although i'm not goin to say what. I also have to work 45 hours a week and don't get an overtime rate even when I have to travel to the mainland to commison work I don't get any allowance for being away from home.

This is because competition for work here is fierce and I count myself lucky that I have, what I consider here in Northern ireland, a fairly well paid job. I earn more than the Northern Ireland national average.
