Posted this in another Reddit. Curious what small fellow small business owners think….. Looking for feedback or suggestions. Running a business which requires lower skilled workers. Many of which show a lot of promise and drive but lack professional training. This business requires employees to drive to one or more locations to complete their work. So having trust they work efficiently while working independently is a must. So after training them properly I am considering using an hourly rate plus an incentive for completing all of their jobs. This would be a percentage of job cost. I could offer say $15 per hour and possibly get average work or I could offer $13 or $14 per hour with incentives bringing that up to $16 or $17 per hour. How do you think a lower skilled worker would respond to this type of pay? I feel it offers me the ability to mentor good workers and weed out the lazy and at the same time offer some protection to the business.
Thoughts are appreciated!
