If you don’t want the PTO you can take it as a cash payout. I usually let mine build for a few months and then get a nice bonus payment.

8 hours pto just for showing up and all that? Your boss must have HUGE turn around. I went from 8 employees to 3 because of the same reason. Hit the hike if you cant show up and defiantly hit the hike if you cant respect the equipment like its your own

[@davidpattison5860]

Make it a squad bonus and if someone is late no one gets the bonus , and I’m sure bugs will be having words with them as well as you , but in reality grown men shouldn’t need a bonus to go to work Regards Davy 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇹🇭

[@BixRivers.]

Great idea

[@TheUltimateScot]

I used to work powerline and a lot of my foremen were druggies that themselves were late!😵

[@treadlightly6427]

I gotta say that shed floor is one of favorites that you have done, i absolutely love that rustic look, I'd 100% do that on my land!

[@br549rdr]

Hey Ryan your attendance bonus should be longer than a week. 5 days is EASY!!! Loved the wood plank! Worst part about this video is I have to wait till Wednesday for another one.

[@GlocKkandchill]

Should be a year

[@br549rdr]

We do 6 months no absences or tardy for $500.

[@GlocKkandchill]

@@br549rdr should be pizza after a year. Lol and you get to keep your job.

[@ResidentEngineer1]

Ryan by far the shed floor looks absolutely awesome! I wish you and crew lived closer. I’d have you do a full patio with the wood stamps.

[@jig97]

Ryan is one heck of a boss to be giving out extra money on top of their hourly wage for showing up on time. Rewarding them for their lack of accountability is crazy. Those guys don’t know how good they have it. Most companies don’t tolerate that kind of stuff. Hopefully the boss man can straighten them up. Good work!

[@joecovarrubia8108]

I know I was so shocked that he even pays them when they don’t work right there was a big surprise to me and I know how much of a nice dude he is and on top of that I know he pays their lunch once in a while like come on why would you not show up on time for the dude?

[@thejoke2791]

​@@joecovarrubia8108 It's rain days. It's not the workers fault its raining. But I like the idea. If he can still use you for the day, but youre not keen, then you get the day off but minus the rain day money.

[@joecovarrubia8108]

@@thejoke2791 I mean yea but every outside worker knows you won’t work and most likely won’t get paid so to just hear Ryan doing that is wow only cause he already does a lot for these guys.

[@thejoke2791]

@@joecovarrubia8108 True, but I've heard of companies doing this, so was just sharing that

[@jdias51]

Does he pay for full days when they finish at 1oclock? My guys would quit if they don't get 50hrs a week

[@chrisish4979]

Pay them whether they work or not that’s very nice of you I’ve worked for a few companies the size of yours before and they were so terrible to work for so cheap never give raises never pay you for bad weather days your a good dude for real man GOODWORK

[@mitche_9283]

Cant wait for the videos of them moving to the new land!

[@brandonlongo420]

That floor looks beyond incredible.. all that texture really shows through and looks like a beautiful floor

[@davidhundley2]

I have noticed over the two years that I've been watching your that when the end of the concrete season comes the crew starts to lay out and gets to being late more frequently

[@brodybud]

I've never been late for work either. EVER. Not a single day. I actually had a dream I was late for work lastnight and I was DEVASTATED

[@John_505]

Eric needs to be fired, he doesn’t know how good he has it there with Ryan.

[@reygaitan407]

Love what you said, work is important to me.. I’ve never been late to any of my jobs.

[@manuscus6289]

Ryan I would take the metal containers for sure they will last longer or take them all with you you’ll eventually need the storage

[@JeremyEllis43787]

Look at shorts he has took green building and the other small one

[@FuManDrew365]

Buddy that rustic Barn Wood is my new favorite especially with that stain.. really makes it pop off.. just amazing

[@HimmyNeutr0n1]

Yeah I gotta agree with the late situation. Nothing irritates me more than someone being late and wasting my time. I used to pick up my one buddy for the gym every day, and every day he’d be 10-20 minutes late (I’d pick him up from his house). I used to text him when I was 10 minutes away, 5 minutes away, and 2 minutes away so he could be ready. And every single day I’d wait in his driveway for 10-15 minutes. The annoying thing about it for me is that we all have 24 hours in a day, so if you commit to a time, you better be ready 5 minutes BEFORE that time. Don’t waste other people’s time man it’s the one thing you can’t get back. It comes off as entitlement also

[@thejoke2791]

Did he pay gas?

[@Mario2M]

Yeah I agree about being on time. I find being on time usually works out better than being late, especially for Dr. Appts, cause then you have to be squeezed in and it makes you later getting out of there.

[@NeroKoso]

Floor looks amazing! That pattern is really good looking. Stain really finishes it off.

[@mcjoserosado3818]

Hey Ryan crazy idea here. If you do happen to buy the supplies to make the blocks as you had mentioned, I think you should stamp each block with the different patterns to use as reference for your clients. You could then use that to show them different combinations of stamps. Just a thought keep up the great work!

[@derper9308]

That was a fun Day for Me .Its like I was the only Employee that showed up and got to hang out with the Boss all day HAHAHAHAHAH Thank You Ryan

[@wjadam815]

You would not believe the size of the Bass and Bluegills in some of those retention ponds. And the sheer numbers is insane. I fish them regularly around the Fox Valley area. I probably catch 200+ Bass every summer out of just retention ponds in industrial areas. Some have Crappies too, but they're no good for the Bass spawn. If your pond holds water you just need to put a few in there and nature will take over. You'll want to add a few Crawfish too, other food sources for the fish will show up naturally. But so will the snapping turtles and muskrats, which will eat your fish. The fish in those ponds are resilient as any. They manage to survive hard winters when the water probably freezes right to the bottom. The Bluegills have to compete with full size Largemouth so they get absolutely massive and only the meanest toughest Bluegills survive. We've tried to get perch to take off in a couple but they don't do so well. We never eat the fish, because of the questionable water quality, and obviously we would rather keep catching them! I'm so excited for you to have a pond, I really hope it holds water!

[@jeffnorbert1871]

Perch need deeper colder water than most ponds have. New ponds will usually soon have fish in them even if no person "stocks" it. Fish eggs arrive on the feet of ducks and geese. Unfortunately it's often carp and they create a poor environment for gamefish and even panfish.

[@wjadam815]

@@jeffnorbert1871 Hmm, interesting. Now that you mention it, we never catch fish in the ones with carp. But the carp get surprisingly big in those little ponds. I've seen them 25"+ and as round as a basketball. Good thing they're easy targets, it shouldn't be too hard to deal with them. Especially if you own the pond.

[@EMattHowerton]

"Too late for today, too early for tomorrow. See you tomorrow." There's no hard feelings. Everyone understands that to show up late, you miss the best part of the day. The best policy because it hits the pocket book.

[@BeerMoney89]

Seems like you need to bring ray and bugs in on days like this instead of Eric and Fransisco..they're more dependable

[@ST-ej9bt]

Me and you both. Works important it helps me provide for my daughter n myself so being on time everyday is a must unless i know its fin be slow which fridays are usually slow at the warehouse ill come in a hr or 2 late but the rest of the time is go time on time.
