Curious how you all charge and contract with others, either subbing or hiring a sub.
I know you have to be sure the sub has WC on all employees to be sure you don't end up responsible, you have to have a subcontractor's agreement, and have some specific criteria met so that they are a Sub and not an Employee.
Do you generally get your regular day rate with the equipment you supply? What do you charge as a sub compared to what you would expect as an employee.
I have a friend, Andy, of a friend, Ryan, in Eastern Washington that has a winter tree season who is working way too hard, trying to learn on his own, basically, with NO INTERNET (I'm sure he'd make up the bill easily with information he could glean, if he was so inclined. Of course it would take time, and he has kids and a working farm).
Andy and I contemplated me or me and Ryan going over there, 5 hours away, and doing some work during my slow period (Ryan's slow in construction work this time of year). Andy has a gypsy wagon (little primitive guest cabin essentially). I wouldn't mind. I'd be working with/ for him, but also training him. Presumably, I'd take all my gear that fits in my pick-up (basically no chipper and chip truck, or trailer for several days/ one work week.
I'd be interested in letting some people do a working vacation, but at the moment don't have any extra accommodations. I now I did for a long time, and others do have beds in their rigs (mine was a van, travelling the west). I would consider getting a cab-over camper for general use, guest accomodations, and accomodations for a traveling climber. What have you all done with someone traveling in from out of area, like RangerDanger, as an example. PMs are fine in this specific regard, or if RD and the company owner care to share in the open, that would be cool, too.
thoughts?
