We employed christian to do some work on a project we are working on
Christian informed us of his day rate which we agreed to thinking when someone tell you there day rate this includes a standard day of 8 hours
Christian Left site after around 4 hours each of the three days he worked on our project and still wanting paying for the full 8 hours per day
In total he sent us an invoice for £864 for 12 hours work over three days that's 3 days @ 4 hours per day this also included a fee of £120 for a labour he brought with him to help on day 3 his labours bill was £120 for 4 hours work
When we refused to pay all his invoice he comes knocking at your door shouting the odds thinking bully boy tacktics will bully you into paying extortionate prices
To me it seems that christian plans his work out on each job so that he can get extra payment from your job
Be careful when employing christian
Make sure you clarify with him what his hours per day are as for a normal tradesmen there working day is 8.5 hours taking into account dinner time
Unfortunately for christian he thinks his working day is only 4 hours with the expectation of being paid for 8 hours
We did offer christian other works of garenteed hours of around 60 hours per month on other projects we have but after he tried this we have looked elsewhere
Be careful if you employ christian and his bully boy strong arm tacktics
