After a long day, one of my helpers (6 years with me) stepped off the plywood in an attic of a new house and stuck his foot through the sheet rock. He was not injured thankfully. This is not the first time this has happend and I always try to do this type of work instead of taking the risk that one of my employees might fall or damage a house that is 99% complete... but Murphy's Law always prevails. What would you do. The employee offered to pay for the damage. Would you let him pay?
