[QUOTE="CopperBeech, post: 7481665, member: 8925"] Paying new starters looking for experience is a hard one ....... Currently with the whole COVID thing, it’s an employers market, lots are unemployed. I recently had a lass ring me up, youngster, looking to come lambing and gain more experience of a progressive outdoor system etc. Great. But wanted to be paid, which is fine, but at £150 a day, over a grand a week.......... I can live without. I don’t overly need the extra help, so no experience for her. No doubt she may find a position cleaning out pens etc indoors. I see it a lot, it’s hard to justify paying someone with little experience when there are experienced folk out there and the cost difference if marginal. No experience at all but good attitude .... £12-15 an hour apparently. Experienced man with some of own kit, dogs, truck etc ..... £15/16. You can see the issue..... We are all here to earn / make money so it’s a tough one. [/QUOTE]
