Minimum Working Hours
3 Answers
I am self employed roofing contractor and am interested in employing a 18 year old lad to train up as a roofer. Neither of us want to go down the apprentice route and thought that it would be best to pay a hourly rate going forward. The problem for me is that although I know there is a minimum pay etc I don't know how to go about working out how to capture what to pay. ie do I pay from door to door ( I collect him and we go to the job ) or do I pay one way only? If we agree on a 40 hr week what happens when we are rained off and finish early? usually I go out when the weather improves and finish the job then which may be a Sat or Sun. If you have similar experiences can you help with way forward for me. Thanks in advance.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I used to work like this with a friends dad but as a landscaper. He would pay me dayly and if we got rained off, unless we worked past lunchtime, he didn't ask the people we were working for for that days money. So therefore I didn't get paid that day. At first I was a little miffed, but then after a while I understood that if you don't do the work you shouldn't really ask for the money. We just carried on the work the next day. Hope this helps.
