Just what should an Electrician get paid

[telectrix]

£9/hour to start.

 

[VoltzElectrical]

£9/hour to start.

Exactly. + benefits.

For manning a till or shelf stacking.

Not exactly even semi-skilled.

Let me offer a different perspective here.

With the bonus scheme with the council I work for, the bin men get the same as me if I am on dayworks!

Trouble is getting a good hour rate as the punter does not see the cables in the wall etc, then you have got the B&Q warriors have ago boys who have done a weeks course and think the a spark, what a load of sh?t ,

£15 per hour....£120 a day!!!!! labourer gets £100, painter and dec gets more than £120, infact I bet a road sweeper earns more.....infact taxidermy would be a better living, tell ya wot theres no way I'd do this for less than £20 per hour, although you'd have to wear a condom..oops wrong forum

sorry marvo, my mistake for not being clearer. a bit like SA to you is south africa, but here it's a beer, brewed in wales by brains brewery, it's called SA, commonly referred to as skull attack.

SA you mean self adhesive

Thought I would start another post, there are different ideas about what an electrician can and should do. What is his skill level in regard to other trades etc. I feel a proper time served Spark has done the same time as a junior Doctor and yet is on a lot less pay, I thought I would stick a poll up and hope you all chip in, well until it gets trashed of course lol, I reckon a time served electrician even at 21 years old should be on at least £15.00 an hour, what do you think? options in the poll

What do you pay your sparks mike. Out of interest.

Luis Suárez £40,817.00 per hour , thats working 7 days a week 7 hours a day, , so for good honest sparks it should be at least £80,0000 an hour

Suarez aint bad, but lacks class and style....if I'd of knocked the smokes on the head earlier and hadnt done me knee...oh well
