is he a good tiler m8 ?

good tiler or not makes no difference

the other lads are earning less if their picking up his cuts or garys waiting for money as his areas are not completed

if he was working for himself he wouldnt be paid till he had done his cuts so why should gary have to wait

You can employ a ‘field tile specialist’ anywhere! And you could tell him that ... but ....

Don’t you give your guys a job spec that captures ‘complete area including grouting trims etc to supplied spec drawing? ... if not then although he is mainly to fault you are at fault also for not providing a clear and specific job / job scope spec. ( ... and this is not criticism as I’ve been there and done that also, so I feel for you – common sense and fair play doesn’t seem to work with some of the trades unfoundedly – its ‘yes yes yes’ when you take them on , then arguing the toss over whose job is who’s later – especially if it goes wrong)
... tack a method statement on so he really gets to understand what part of the job he ‘owns’.

Incidentally, it’s really hard to take the emotion out of these things but you could gain more by turning him around than simply firing him (someone asked here is he a good tiler – it’s a great question) he may be an excellent tiler and some of the guys that do the whole job might not be! I had 20 managers reporting to me at one time, the biggest pita’s were very good at their jobs, it was up to me to get real good at managing them – then those big pita’s might make you 10x more money than the nice guys.

Hi Gary , In my opinum Stan has said it in a nutshell. As you have found, it has probably hurt your companies productivity. Some jobs i find laying field areas first good, but normally I cut in at the same time and Skirtings and grout ,the next day. The senario can be different from job to job! Try to shape him in to your way of working, as part of a Team.When all fails you should let him go! Sacking someone is never nice ,but a necessity
