Working away.

So cut your rate!!

eh?.....

Food and digs are necessary expenses.
For working away i would definitely be wanting more than usual day rate. You have to be recompensed for being away from family

I don't think I am out of line saying this. Or rude

But if you don't want the work don't take it. There are many more out there

I will happily pay the digs and food. But in not going to give you extra for working away.

I give my boys as many hours as they can get in. Decent accommodation and food allowance

If they want extra on their pay they can find another job.

I like to think I'm a fair boss etc and I don't get anymore by working away.

No need for the righteous indignation fella.
I agree with every word you say, regarding lads who have some form of employment

However we aren't talking about employed lads for whom working away forms part of the established work pattern are we?

My comments refer to a fella doing a single job which requires him to kip in a caravan for six weeks away from home. (i have this bad habit of aiming my comments at those who start threads)

Circumstances under which i , and Im sure many others would feel justified increasing our fees. 😉

The mob im working for this now im away all the time, im used to when working away ever day is a 12hr day even if u only do 9/10hrs, after 4:30 it WAS time and half then ur weekend rates. now its all just at time and only for the hours you do.

£20 a night for dinner, must keep reciepts to claim back (most hotels if u ask nicely will just put food on ur bill so you can drink the £20)
Digs are paid for normally £50 per night.

wokring away aint what it used to be for me anyway.
