How much did I earn for a Saturday night shift?

[@paulthompson5416]

Absolutely Tony you broken that down perfectly, people only see the hours “worked” or on-site. What they fail to see is the knock on effect it has on a personal level. I personally think £990 was fair bud

[@jointechcabling9103]

It's becoming a more important subject as people struggle with pressures that they feel they can't handle. If you spend time with people that really care for you they can help.you through.

[@BrianBock-c7h]

When making videos about this kind of work, you do, it's highly appreciated, when personal things come into play, like in this video. To me, you don't look like or sound like a person, who has a need to show off and brag about a big pay for a Saturday night shift. The price is quite fair. Hopefully they understood your reasons for the payment and didn't argue much about your request. I could write more, but think it will be too much to read. Like your videos that shows your daily challenges and that there's no specific way to get the job done, as long as you do it nicely... as you do. Greetings from Denmark

[@billybulmer7386]

Discussing the pay makes the videos a lot more interesting. More please👍👍

[@WalksandCoast]

Great video Tony. Great advice. Keep the videos coming. 👍🙏

[@electricalsolutions]

As a contractor who carries out this type of work, your rate mentioned is very reasonable! We maybe in touch. Love your videos and the quality of your work.

[@TheSparkysdog]

As you say buddy, it's your time, and it's how you value it. Enjoyed the video, thanks.

[@cstew8355]

Your time, your labour, your expertise! You said I price it was accepted job done….. I think that’s excellent money and even though you didn’t want to do it you still went and did it so good on you and good luck! They must know you are worth the money. Time is something you never get back so get as much as you can for it pal you have a family to support this big project have money to burn not as if it some one man band needing a hand.👍 cheers for the video

[@starr1963]

bang on mate!

[@joelshah-rao3010]

100% agree - if they want the work then they gotta pay the throw away figure! Great video brother, we can all learn something from this. Nothing but respect for you

[@robertchesney1592]

Exactly right Tony!

Could you do a short video of your career progression from start of your electrical work to where you are now. Cheers

[@jointechcabling9103]

I did a video where I talk about it. It was a while ago though. Trouble is I can't remember exactly which one it was 🤣🤣🤣🙈🙈🙈

[@garybrewitt8006]

Hi Tony great video thanks, if they want the top man to do the job, even though you didn't want it. Don't ever sell your short, your worth every penny mate. Take care mate Gary 😊.

Great and such an important message from you Jointech on the Boss being 'In Charge' but the skilled worker having control of the situation too

[@trickybizzl3sge]

Well done Tony, looks a good Job. Glad I didn't hang around last night 😂 Bazza

[@jointechcabling9103]

Finished at 8 this morning 😭😭🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣

[@paulrattray8121]

I think you undervalued your work. Working antisocial hours, I'd have doubled your usual hourly rate then added £500 for inconvenience. Round up, £2000. Let them say no. You're not short of work.

[@Skilbeck80]

How did you not tell me you saw Bill Bailey??? 😳😳😳 Good work Doll, proud of you

Spot on Tony.

[@derekhiggins4535]

Hi Tony. Enjoyed the video. Cost wise I would have said fair price for all your work would have been between 1.5 and 2K. especially due to all overhead working.

[@davegwynn]

Very fair. Between 1500 and 2500 was what I would had in my head if I was to sub that out to another firm at short notice over a weekend night. As a solo guy 1k is a fair price for all, especially if they are guys you know you are working for.

[@sergiofernandez3725]

Nice work Tony. I think you could charge £1300. At the end of the day its your whole weekend and your experience is worth every penny. Little thumbs up.

[@rozzer8290]

About right, and wasnt a doddle either. No one wants to be doing that on a saturday night, gotta make it worth your while

[@irechopshop]

I used to hate those jobs, you give a price that’s off the wall praying that is not going to come in and then it does, but I always used to think if I quoted x amount and to me it was a stupid amount, what did the other companies quote and was I still quoting too cheap, I always allowed for 3 days doing adhoc night work, as you said the bosses or customers want really care about you it’s just the family who remembers

[@chazzlebazzle69]

You've been to work all week, looking forward to a well earned break at the weekend, that break is now out the window plus all the other commitments, Monday morning will then soon roll round and your at it again so the Saturday job scuppers a fortnight up ....well justified, i thought you would probably charge a little more

[@jointechcabling9103]

Judging by some of the comments ive had on the post i should have. At least i have the knowledge for next time. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@cliveramsbotty6077]

always a strange one when you give them an f off price because you don't want the job, and then they say yes to the ridiculous price

I don’t think that’s too much to ask. I’m a maintenance electrician in Australia, I work Nightshift permanently as an employee. 4 days on 4 days off 12hr nights 6pm to 6am, I clear $2500 AUD a week ($1300 pound) after tax. Works out due to weekends being payed at 2x and 30% nightshift loading. I’m the lowest payed as I’m the newest.

We had some 95*5 last month the same horrible stuff. We ended up scoring down it with a cut off tool then someone standing on it and pulling it. Don't think your pricing is bad at all. Looks like a right pig of a job. Especially since you're standing next to a half mil machine. I thought MRI machines shouldn't be near metal?

[@mustardcrumbles]

You don't have to justify what you charge if someone is willing to pay you Tony. Plus that looks a right shite job to do so well done

[@thomasdilworth7691]

I'd put in a price nearer 1500 quid. That would've given me and an apprentice a decent wage and a few days in Centre Parks with me wife and kids!

[@nathanaddison9778]

That’s a pretty reasonable price Tony , most companies would send two men to do that job and they would both want more than half of your price to do it , that’s how the company will see it , bet they snatched your hand off

As you say no one else wants to do that work with your diesel money food plus tax then I reckon you should of Charged more mate. £1500-£2000 easy and people will defo pay that if not do it themselves lol that ain't easy work at all. Plus your coming with all the tools I earn £800 changing a silly little Fuse board 😅 go Higher!
