pay rates

pay dispute

am i right if you employ 6 drivers all driving trucks doing the same job. we all get paid the same hourly rate.

No. The owner can pay his staff whatever he thinks they are worth. The driver has the choice to either accept it or turn it down. What the other staff members are paid is none of anyone else’s concern nor business :bulb: . At our place we are all on different rates and we all do the same job. Some drivers do the bare minimum and don’t look after the equipment, other drivers go above and beyond to make sure the job gets done right and the kit is well looked after - a big asset to the company. Last time I heard, there is a £3.50 / hr difference in hourly rate between myself and another driver.
