ABC Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Unrelated, but here it's $50K US, + callouts and on call/standby pay, they furnish vehicle (goes home with us) and all but hand (crimps, screwdrivers, etc) tools. I've easily cleared $75K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite willing to do call out etc...is it the norm with //.National Installer.// to have every hour after midnight off the next day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be made an offer based on various thing's including but not limited to experience, competence, attitude, previous salary and //.National Installer.//'s need to fill any vacancy. I'm quite willing to do call out etc...is it the norm with //.National Installer.// to have every hour after midnight off the next day?Yes, it is in your terms and conditions should you be lucky enough to be offered the position.

gla.ssfp Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 Been left a while now but they have a graded system: Grade 2,3,4,5 With your 10yrs I would expect at least a grade 4 !!! I was shafted with a grade 2 Loads of overtime when I was there too so earnings could be good !!! Yes you should get time off the next day if your out past midnight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABC Posted February 20, 2006 Share Posted February 20, 2006 more unrelated (but i have been more off topic as well.. )do you pay your insurances yourself like health care, unemployment, etc..? and how much is it approximately there? All trade insurances are covered by the Co. Medical and dental, as well as life insurances are pro-rated and paid by the company. I'm paying approximately $130/month for that. My medical is excellent, as far as out of pocket goes, very cheap. The company pays for all the trade license renewals and continuing education fees. I am also a member of a collective bargaining agreement (union) and I have a whole work contract with standards, hours of work and pay. OT is after 8 hours, have to provide 45 mins drive time in the AM/PM, and 40 hours is standard. Callouts are handled as $135 for being on "standby", calls are minimum of 1/2 hr OT for each call recieved, 1/2 hr for returning a call to a customer, and 3 hrs minimum OT for a call out, starting from the time the call comes in until the time returning home.
