ok for starters
Your company is breaking the law! by only paying you £5 per hour!
Contact HMRC!
Out of interest and not being racist are you a British Citizen?
They are taking you for a ride my boy!
Get a pay rise or walk - even better get on benefits - you will get more!
Or are they providing you with accommodation/meals/clothes/etc??
That is the only other way they can legally pay you £5 per hour

Well, left that job. Got another one recently.. Bit better paid, van, work wear and all that supplied. All going swimmingly until I get told they expect 250+ tests per day! Had a meeting this morning, managing director isn't happy, boss is ****ed off and they're not "investing in me". I have a month to reach 250 tests or I'm not getting kept on. Expected me to drive 3 hours to a job, not leave until it was completed 9-10 hours and then a 3 hour drive home.. On a Friday. I worryingly look forward to the day they tell me I'm not kept on, so many unachievable targets that make me look bad. I've made a little scrap book so to speak of members of this site saying 200+ is madness and unsafe, I hope mr bossman takes note. Anyone looking for a slightly ageing (21) apprentice!?
Start a business doing only PAT testing.......
I'd rather throw myself under a train.
You know what I charge per PAT test?
£5
You know why?
Cos I F'kin hate it.
60p per test might just about turn a profit if you leave your tools and tester in the van and just go in with the labels but even then its gonna be tight.
I'd genuinley rather sweep a floor anyday.....thinking about it...I do that pretty much everyday anyway.agreed , PAT testing is the electrical equivolent of sweeping the floor but less rewarding.
even funnier is they sell quals to do this , staggering ! lol.
