Tsolanto, Is there any way you can pay these guys on a percentage basis, and then maybe a bonus if the job if finished by a certain date that you specify? I know when I worked for a company that did this just about everyone was taking a quick lunch and working harder. It seems when the jobs I was on were paying hourly everyone just did the bare minimum. With the percentage program you dont even keep track of the hours an employee works, just give them a percentage of the final job costs.
