Tsolanto:
Luckily for me, the four guys I have now are good. One is 16 yrs, 1 is 12 yrs, 1 is 10 yrs, 1 is <2 yrs.(Young guy out of local VoTech School)
As to incentives: 45 hr week, 5 days. OT as needed. Holidays, off w/pay. Sick days & vacation. (Flexible w/sick days)
Bonus a Christmas, $$ dependent on the "goodness" of the year. Cash "bonus" from scrap proceeds. Pat on the back is standard, quality of work is A+, the only way we do it.
We do primarily comm; resi for the comm people. Steady customers who expect quality work, immediate emergency response 24-7.
"No complaints" from the workforce here.
PS: LIGHTHOUSE, are you in "South Jersey" area?? I have a guy down that way who may need a hand, if yu're interested.
John
