A relative of mine is dating a man who owns a pritty large roofing company. I always end up asking him how work is just to make conversation. He started talking about having a hard time finding help. He complained about a lot of things. He said he's been told if he pays more people will work harder. His response was work harder and I'll pay you more..He did say he has an insensitive program. If they work 5 days Monday through Friday (50hours) he will pay $1 more per hour and if they work a full Saturday it's $2 more per hour on top of overtime. All depending on weather. He also didn't mention starting pay. He also said if he gets a bad night's sleep he's libel to fire someone soon. He's also a landlord and has plenty of money based on his lifestyle.
Idk I just wanted to share my conversation with everyone. People definitely seem to be pushing back. Roofing is hard work and definitely deserves good pay. Like everyone.
