Maybe they think if they gotta finish the day, or no pay.
Oh they definitely have to finish or it gets added to another day. No skipping out. It does keep them in the mood to keep a good pace or get home late . This really only applies to one of my guys he is the only one that works alone. The other is with me all day .
I pay from the time they get to the shop in the morning and evening. Drive time gets paid cause they are working. 40 hours are gauranteed year round. In the winter there are days they only work 8 hours in a week.

I agree. But I also agree with @Innocentbystander itâs definitely not what is portrayed on TV.

Clay flew out of here this afternoon on a fire call came back black as could be. It was only a grass fire that had gotten out of control. He loves it. I think heâs decided against the army and is going to do the air guard and go through the fire academy. My daughter in law works at the air base and is working on getting him on there

And donât forget code âCCPFââŚSeen some pretty bad injuries from that one in my day.
That is exactly why I hate grass fires! Ha. I love a good structure fire, but not so much on the grass fires. You end up with black in places you never knew you had.

Wow, $15 an hour or lower for a labourer!! Now Iâm understanding why a machine that costs you guys in the U.S $4000 costs us Aus $8000 ? Sort of âŚ
Out of curiosity what could be considered an average weekly house rental price in the areas that guys earning $15 an hour could expect to pay.
To hire here I expect to pay between $30 to $50
per hour , the upper bracket is experienced guys that have own tools and can paint unsupervised and the lower end of scale is less experienced with little to no tools or pressure washer experience only.
In saying that if I come across someone that is a legend at washing i would pay them according to income they are generating.
Average rental here is $400 per week.
Iâm trying to get an idea of how I can convert rates between countries.

Found this info. Looks like minimum means minimum in Australia etc.
Here are the minimum wage rates in some of the worldâs biggest economies:
Australia: $17.70 per hour
United Kingdom: $AU14.66 per hour
New Zealand: $AU14.22 per hour
France: $AU14.98 per hour
Germany: $AU13.17 per hour
Canada: $AU10.45 - 13.81 per hour
United States: $AU10.08 per hour
Youâll earn at least $US7.25 per hour, thatâs the federally set rate.
But many US states also have their own minimum wage laws. Employees are entitled to the higher wage where laws overlap, meaning workers in New York receive $US9 per hour, those in California $US10 per hour and Arizona $US8.05 per hour.
If you really want to compare apples to apples, go here and compare actual places:
Cheers for that mate , Iâm surprised by what Iâm reading.

In my area rent for a 2 bedroom apartment is about $1400 a month and fast food workers start at $10-$12 an hour. Some areas have much lower rent and cost of living.

In my area you can rent a very nice 3 bedroom house for $1400 a month, fast food workers start at $8 an hour.
You must live out in the boonies. My daughter pays 1500 for 1 br in Buckhead and was paying about the same for 2 br w. garage in Alpharetta.
