How much you say is fair

[smarts]

I have a small plastering company and I keep the lads who work for me in work all the time I get all the work I provide all materials and do all paperwork if they finish at 1 and the jobs done I still pay them the full days money what would you say is a reasonable amount of money to be making out of them a day
Just interested in what people think ta

As much as possible? A contractor should be taking home around £500 per day profit for themselves.

What do you get though.

 

[owls]

It has never been as hard to employ lads, paye as it is now, and I employ quite a few.
National insurance, pension contributions,holiday pay, bank holiday pay, paternity pay, employers insurance, maybe a works van, health and safety obligations, chas, training costs, delays on projects, weather etc etc, all that just to break even before you make a penny.

I charge out £170 per day I do alot for small builders so I give my lads £140 per day
If I charge anymore i won't get the jobs
Do you think this is fair

 

[Stewie03]

[Trppy]

Absolute bare minimum should be £50 a day. That’s rock bottom!!

30 a day ain't worth it

It's not a business if there's no profit in it.
Imagine doing all the ground work, pricing and buying materials plus chasing it all up plus admin etc and then 30 quid from each lad.

Just getting ear ache of them saying they should be on more money which I understand every1 wants to earn as much as possible but not worth all the agro if u don't make anything for all the effort

Tbh they're right, self employed needs to be earning more than 140. The problem is the 170 you're charging is too low, if you can't charge more then its not a profitable business

 

[smarts]

Might have to tell the lads I'll try and charge more for jobs if I don't get no work then no work for them either

Right lads I'll try and get more cash, makes you sound like a shop steward.
I would drop it and do your own work, less hassle.

At the moment you're making 150quid a day for sorting out work for 5 lads. Give them an extra tender each to make it 150 for them. Quote jobs at 250 a day, yes you'll lose a few but keep 3 of the best lads busy and make 300 a day with less stress.
