Travel time?

[macka09]

Hi all. Do most trades men get paid for travelling time? Reason I ask is due to the working day going from 1hr travel to a place of work to 3??

 

[Ermintrude]

Yes we pay from arrival at job or merchants to leaving last job

What's that yes we do have trackers

 

[macka09]

Lol. We have to leave early to get hot works permits and drive to numerous jobs and then hand the permit in at end of play. So the day is much longer than it was but for same money.

Up to an hour there and an hour back.

Anything over that is claimable

 

[macka09]

Is that law, or an unwritten rule?

 

[Dotty]

Snipef agreement I think.

It's a contractual thing so you'd need to thrash it out with your boss.

 

[macka09]

Ok thanks.

Jib firms and Hvca firms will pay this otherwise, up to the boss

unless I can drive to the customers in 15 / 20ish mins.(or its a mega job where the travelling time is sort of in the job)
I will charge from the when the van starts moving from home, or last job .......... to home or next job.

They way I look at it, if you drive an hour to do a job (ok rare, just an example) it takes an hour to get back, and say the job took an hour....that whole job has taken 3 hours not 1 .

Of course if its a it customer with nice knockers , you obviously wave the travelling charge
