What Job Percentage do you pay your employees? What the lowest and the most? Also do you pay that across the board for big and small jobs?
What Job Percentage do you pay your employees?
30-31% per truck.
What the lowest and the most?
Depends on who they are working with. Lowest on a two man crew is 11%, highest is 20%
Also do you pay that across the board for big and small jobs?
Yes.
That’s the standard rate that everybody who is successful pays. That formula is quoted over and over again on the forums. If they’re not happy with 30% you’re not charging enough or they’re working to slow. They should call it the 30% rule.
PS Some guys pay hourly, but at the end of the day payroll better not exceed 30% or you’ll be in trouble.
30% is definitely [I]the[/I] standard but on a seasoned guy I would go up to 35%. To me it depends on the guy and what he has to offer. Unfortunately, few people are worth paying more.
What would make a person worth paying more, in your opinion?
Do the 30% include your payroll expenses or is that just the employee’s gross wage?
Thr kind of guy that would allow me to leave the country for an extended period of time and I have complete confidence everything will be done.
Gross wages
Just curious but what gross income level would one expect to take home on average at 30 %

This would all depend on a host of factors. Are you doing any work yourself? How many crews in the field? How much revenue are they producing? For how many weeks per year? etc etc…
Average? 150 a day per person? Less or more?

Why not ask what you would expect to make if you had to work for someone else?
I think he was asking what the employees can expect to make
An average day, they’d make around $125
Two man crew?
Yep, two guys typically knock out $800-900 per day, so each guy makes $120-$135 per day (assuming they are at the same percentage, which they usually aren’t)
ha, well Jared, there we go. ALong with the other post we were talking on, to me, I see this in the simple numbers framework as 30% field wage plus 5% mgmt, coming out of the total of what could/would be apportioned to you as mgmt. you’re not out of the country all year, so a 5% all year to him is equivalent to amortizing what might be up to a 20% bump for all mgmt in those time periods instead
there’s the missing piece of info . . . 
few guys will reach that but its there and they know it. I like a small crew as I have mentioned to you because I’m not interested in getting into price wars and having a large overhead. Small crew equals better pay and better benefits for me and my small crew.
I know this is one of many threads on percentage pay.
I’m interested in switching my one remaining field employee over to percentage pay and he is interested as well.
I haven’t thrown out a number yet.
My question is do the figures I’m seeing assume your vehicle is provided and that additional payout would be given if he uses his own vehicle?
Currently, when he goes out alone he’s been using his own vehicle and I tack on additional hours to his day as a reasonable compensation.
30% per employee or per crew?
