hi guys,yeah I've met this lady who is very friendly and good to deal with but unfortunately companies are employing agencies to recruit tradesmen. $30.00 per hr. would be what the tradesman gets and I suspect that at least double that would be charged to the company.  I once applied through an agency who revealed that they charged 12% of the annual wage of the person employed for them to find that person for the company, I think our trades are doomed as far as earning a fair wage is concerned considering the amount of knowledge and up skilling we are required to have then add licence/compliance fees costs on top,cheers

What planet is this on? LP's get $35 in Auckland, so I'm sure a CP or CGf would get at least $40. The charge out rate for alot of the bigger companies is $100 per hour now so $30 is a giant rip off.  Why would you guarantee work for someone elses benefit for such a pittance?

hi guys, yes and I bet if they can CONvince a certifier then I bet you what you like that he would be supervising half a doz of those even cheaper `unlicensed under supervision` labourers, no disrespect to  labourers they are rebuilding Christchurch, but working in our trades doing registered men's work is just underhanded and devised by the board and master plumbers assn.,cheers

Have a good look at it guys, this is simply a contractors position where the rate should be over $85.00 per hour. By the time you pay for your vehicle, ACC, tax etc what will you have left out of your $50.00.   Close to $50.00 per hour should be  a wages rate not a contractors.
