Winseer:
Taxes will be going up, so the optimum earnings in the future will be just below the higher rate threshold.
The trick then - is to earn as close to that as possible, whilst performing as few shifts to earn it, thus saving on commute costs as well.
The ones that such a concept will appeal to most - are the ones who currently commute long distances to work each shift, run gas guzzler private vehicles to do that commute, and of course (around North Kent like moi) - have to pay tolls of any kind to get to that next shift…
Maybe Conor will pop along to give a more reliable answer but from what I understand you are taxed at the higher rate on what you earn above the current higher rate threshold which is like 50,270.
So if you earn 50k a year your on £3,136.67 p/m
If you are on 51k a year your on £3,185.00 p/m.
If you are on 53k a year your on £3,281.67 p/m
So unless I am missing something you dont really need to aim to earn just under the higher rate. I may well be wrong though.,
Yeah uve never got the “earn just under” thing. If you’re still earning beyind the 40% tax bracket you’re still earning.
What I think Winseer means is that for each pound earned over the higher rate threshold you take home less of it because you lose more in deductions.
But still it’s earning and taking more home than you would if you just stopped at the 40% bracket.
That’s just his bizarre take on life. I’d be over the moon if I was paying £10k a week in tax. It’s obvious to most why I’d be over the moon, but our man won’t get it.
Stop drivers from parking in lay-bys
Provide parking for trucks in every town/city
Stop 15hr shifts
Plan 10hr shifts thus allowing for holdups
Put safety adverts on tv to teach car drivers
Pay 1.5 on overtime rate
edd1974:
Should be a maximum working of 48 hours a week from clock on to clock off.non of this poa and break doesn’t count rubbish.
If you wish to work longer then the choice is yours.
No employer should make there drivers work over 48 hours unless they want to
And hear lies the problem when you think a 48 hour week is normal.
It’s a xrta shift what everyone else in the country does. on a normal job it is like working 6 days a week basic.
It’s ridiculous.
40 hours a week. overtime paid there after. at 1.3 or 1.5 and 1.5 on sat and 2 on Sunday.
This is the problem why you can’t recruit youngsters
If you paid a youngster 14 to 15 pound a hour basic and overtime there would be a ques for the jobs making money.
No one wants to work 48 hours basic and time in a tenth there after and time in quarter at weekend. I dont blame them to be honest.
12 hour shifts max.
6 days a week one rest day every 6 days mandatory.
50 hours driving max over any 6 days.
