There's a company near me who have employed a tactic that's keeping them cheap and making a profits
I've only lived in Bristol since feb and worked on 2 sites yet I've met about 15-20 people who have worked for this company and all had the same experience.
They're doing council house rewires, real rubbish work, surface mounted trunking etc, but the kitchens are being ripped out at the same time all occupied.
the particular one I was on the people living their wouldn't allow any floor boards in the rooms to be lifted only in the hall. I was off site for maybe a total of a day and a half doing courses for them, and the other guy who was on the books spent 2 days with his assessor.
Mae were given 26 hours to do the entire rewire, obviously it took longer, get to the end of the next week and see I've only been paid for 26 hours, they turn around and said, yeah we gave you that long to do the job that's what you get paid regardless, lol non of which was discussed beforehand lol.
They've not paid so many people and have a bad rep, I'm surprised the guy who runs it is still walking the amount of guys I've me that he owes money to.
