  1. I am just a small shop me and another guy that is just beginning.  I pay him a base pay of 12 an hour and give him 6 dollars for every flat rate hour he turns. By doing this if we are ever slow he has a base pay and also initiative to stay busy on other things such as building maintainence etc. He seems to really like it and it works good for me.

  2. Thanks guys. I just got lucky in finding this guy. I had overheard his mom talking about him being in a technician competition in high school sponsored by Ford and AAA. He then went national competition and finished 14. I called him up and asked of he needed a job he said sure. Two days after he started my other tech put his two weeks on to have his own lawn service. So for the past 2 years it has just been me and this guy while he was going to school he is now graduated from UNOH in Lima and working for me full time. I truly believe the good Lord was looking out for me by placing this kid in my life at the right time.

  3. I am lucky I have a 20 year old kid working for me now that has the maturity of someone twice his age. My only problem is figuring out how to keep him happy. He has a lot of learning to do but I know in the end it will be worth it. Trying to figure out hos pay has been tough he has some friends that have landed good paying jobs and I can't pay him those type wages yet. I did just give him an opportunity to make more by paying him 6 dollars a flat rate hour on top of his hourly pay.
