And there was me thinking that the working week was 38 hrs and folk are saying 6 days a week....Overtime bill will be a bugger. Only an idiot would be salaried and a self indentured slave. It doesn't matter how many hours the boss/owner works an employee is protected and a true eejit if he/she signs those protections away unless he/she is certain the remuneration is really worth it.
There is however a difference between being an employee and a contractor. If you’re on salary and I turn up to where you’re doing a yard job and you’re on the phone, having a yarn with old Dave who lives next door or popped down the chippy to grab some Lunch I’m not too bothered. If you’re a contractor I’m paying by the hour I’m likely to be much more bothered !
