Employing staff

[enduro]

Have just been talking to a mate of mine who owns a very large fencing supply buisness near me. He employes 60 full time staff, he was saying he spends most of his time these days sorting out employment matters, got one guy who suffers from migraine he has been of work for 15 months he still has to pay him £70 per week statuary sick pay, another one who had a car crash, his own fault been of two years same thing. He said its a real nightmare employing people, so anybody who wants to employ somebody. BEWARE THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU :yes:

Try employing 15 female staff in a hairdressing salon, then having 4 get pregnant at the same time! Maternity cover required, maternity pay, keep jobs open, some don't come back, regular clientelle go elsewhere, profits start to fall. Salon now closed!!!!

Employing people, forget it!

Totaly agree with grumpy on this one, Customers moaning at you about work quality and your paying to put right, That's if their not nicking materials for their weekend work. Don't do it

I trained up one of my best mates, from him working in a computer components warehouse to tiling.20 years later he is one the finest tilers in the area. Simon was always there to sub contract with me, never employed by me. If he never turned in....(which he always did)...then he would never have been paid (which he always was). I liked that way of doing things, I could get on with tiling not pen pushing.......Gaz

It's things like this that will put many people off hiring women workers.

Its a minefield employing people and its also a big expense
These days some people actually look for ways to have an accident so they can claim against you! Sad but true
I find its better to sub-contract the work out

I have started down this route! I started with one employee and about to take on another full time. Hopefully I have made the right decision but with Health & Safety and liability insurance going through the roof I am beginning to wonder:huh2:
