Should Tradies Finish Early? Diesel Costs, Free Quotes & Job and Knock | Overtime
Description
Should you be allowed to finish early if you've completed all your work, or should your boss find you something else to do?
Keiran Yates and Pete Withers are back for another episode of Off The Job Overtime, tackling the everyday frustrations, rising costs and workplace debates affecting UK tradespeople.
Inspired by a clip featuring Liam the Tool Sparky, the lads get into the age-old argument around 'job and knock'. If you've finished your allocated work, have you earned an early finish?
They also discuss rising diesel prices, the cost of keeping a work van on the road, and whether plumbers, electricians and other tradespeople should be charging customers for quotes and travel time.
Plus, are employers expecting too much when they ask workers to collect materials outside their paid hours? Could cargo bikes realistically replace work vans in London? And how did an adjustable spanner nearly land Keiran in trouble at airport security?
It's another honest, unfiltered conversation about life in the trades, with plenty of laughs and a few disagreements along the way.
