Give above-average employees incentive to consistently produce.
Jobsite labor is typically one-half of a contractor's expense on a project. Naturally that will vary with the type of material and equipment specified. Your supervision, office coordination, value engineering and prefab capabilities can double those costs or cut them in half. We will show you how to score those other critical functions in this year's future articles, but now we want to score your jobsite employees.
Our oldest and most widely used system is “piece work.” Employees are paid by the number of pieces they install. Their supervisor counts or measures their work and turns in documentation of those quantities to their office. Good employees love it!
