I work subcontract for the company ..we are all self employedWhy does someone need to employ you if you're self employed??
I was just packing me stuff in me van and telling the wife see ya soon love I’ll write ya!.....Haha 2k a week, Hereford was about to get an influx of sparks moving to the area
I work subcontract for the company ..we are all self employed i must admit it's not been good since March with the current situation as they hadn't had any work for me since the lockdown which has prompted me to seek other work without too much success..hence my surprise at the hourly rates quoted here.Why does someone need to employ you if you're self employed??
Please start that thread....you might want to join the arms though mate don’t start it in the public section for gods sake ?Its easy to believe Brian is winding us up but i know of a company called CLC electrical who employ sparks and pay them about £40 a test. Needless to say the quality of these tests is utter cow dung! And the electricians themselves are absolutely useless.
I fact I may start a thread on their work.
Brian seriously though with what they're paying you go self employed you'd get paid a lot more. I live in a rural farming town and the rate here is 30 to 40 an hour and those guys aren't short of work.
Sod that! That company are swindling you.I work subcontract for the company ..we are all self employed i must admit it's not been good since March with the current situation as they hadn't had any work for me since the lockdown which has prompted me to seek other work without too much success..hence my surprise at the hourly rates quoted here.

Hi no contract or letter of intent.....I'm self employed working on an as required basis so there is no requirement for the outfit i do the work for to provide such thingsDo you actually have a contract/letter of intent or anything that states your contract terms?
I retired over ten years ago, and at that time I was charging my clients £50.00/hour and only worked enough days to pay the bills and beer, perhaps it was all different then and times have made it harder, but I doubt it.
Well it's just the way the industry is I think..the client tells me to go to a house and carry out a test,..I do the test..send it to them and issue an invoice, and in the fullness of time...usually 60 days i get paid . As a matter of interest i was reading a thread on this site from a guy in West Wales who was more or less in the same situation as me ...I think he was getting jobs at £10.00 per hour. So it's not just this area that have this level of hourly rate. Can I please ask you guys what level of qualifications you have as these might be seen as advanced and thus warrant the pay difference..maybe mine are not particularly well thought of nowSo you have no agreement on how much you get paid or when?
I'm not self employed and work for a company and take home 2k on a flat week. I get a company van, power tools provided even hand tools if I want them, 30 days holiday, ample overtime, sick pay, healthcare plan, an amazing pension, flexitime if needs be, the whole nine yards....and in my neck of the woods we are seen as not that desirable pay wise!!!

Well maybe but at the end of the day it's the customers who determine his much they will pay....and I have no idea how much Tescos pay ..the absolute minimum i guessI'm a bit confused/concerned here, are you saying you get paid £40 for an EICR as a fully qualified electrician? If so that's mad, at the very least you need to value yourself higher. I have no idea how you can afford to work to that level as others have said Tesco pay more.
I’m sure my customers would like to pay £40, i wouldn’t be doing it for that so good luck to em....I’m also sure your customers are paying a lot more than £40, you are either insane or are trying to justify paying peanuts to somebody!Well maybe but at the end of the day it's the customers who determine his much they will pay....and I have no idea how much Tescos pay ..the absolute minimum i guess
£10 an hour self employed with own van and test kit...wise up. I pay my helper more and he doesn't own as much as a screwdriver, and Northern Ireland is one of the poorest paying areas of the UK. I think 20 years ago when I became time served spark I was cards in and on more money. Maybe even was as an apprentice.Well it's just the way the industry is I think..the client tells me to go to a house and carry out a test,..I do the test..send it to them and issue an invoice, and in the fullness of time...usually 60 days i get paid .

Well it might be poultry to some but it's a wage to others and as for qualifications i have what use to be called the A certificate and the test and inspection very ..be interested in knowing what others haveWell maybe but at the end of the day it's the customers
60 days for £40!....? no way, this is definitely a windup or trolling what quals do you have? So not only do you have to take ya tools fuel van scheme insurances testers and calibration out of that poultry amount you are probably accruing overdraft charges as well.....
who determine his much they will pay....and I have no idea how much Tescos pay ..the absolute minimum i guess
It’s not a wage....it’s not even minimum wage so on that context itS poultry....all quals are on display in the profiles of you opt to do so....Qualifications will have no relevance in how you as a sole trader business charge....you must do other work being self employed? What do you charge for these?Well it might be poultry to some but it's a wage to others and as for qualifications i have what use to be called the A certificate and the test and inspection very ..be interested in knowing what others have
No you determine how much they pay. If you’re Happy doing the job for £40 and consider you are producing a professional insurance backed certification then I would suggest you make yourself familiar WithTesco et al. You would be better of and much less vulnerable.Well maybe but at the end of the day it's the customers who determine his much they will pay....and I have no idea how much Tescos pay ..the absolute minimum i guess
Well I don't think I'm insane and as I work in my own i have nobody to pay anything toI’m sure my customers would like to pay £40, i wouldn’t be doing it for that so good luck to em....I’m also sure your customers are paying a lot more than £40, you are either insane or are trying to justify paying peanuts to somebody!
