Depending on the rate of pay determines how much is payed into the pension scheme. My admin sorts all that out. But everything is above board here. Fair wages for fair work

This isn’t even an argument. I came here to ask advice. And his first comment wasn’t helpful to me. What’s your problem ? I was asking how many people he employs as to how much input he has on this matter. I couldn’t care if he employs 1 person or 10 people. I now have people having a go at me...

Both commercial and domestic work mate. Would you give a tiler a small bathroom to try out first to see the quality of their work so if anything needs putting right it’s not to much of a headache. I understand about the commercial work and easier to keep an eye on them. Thanks for your input
