Sounds like you may need to charge more, electrical work is not a race, it is a skilled craft, a true craftsman will usually complete a task without racing and leaving a job filled with errors and missed work segments.How do you deal with slow employees? I have one but He is very compitent and reliable but slow. I do not know what to do. Do I charge less? I am starting to feel like I need to.
Thanks.

Every time we had a speed demon on a job, we had rework and lost time.

It depends, many times electrical work is a race and even when it is not a certain level of production must be maintained.
I try to put the slower guys with great people skills on T and M jobs.

And just about every EC that thinks that way is out of business over time because of all the problems left behind
Funny how you never see plumbers running around like scared maniacs...:lol:
If proper work completion schedule is maintained
Life is all about balance. Let this guy be slow, let somebody else be fast.
Perhaps a good distinction between construction & service work. Plenty of road construction in my region finds the workers well over their heads in un-shored trenches; its an epidemic, as if OSHA went bankrupt. Whether speed race or ignorance, the workers assume all risk, since contractor consent will never have existed...work for GCs ..is a race for all the trades.
Which are you running.... 2 or 3 shifts to get this job done in time for the customer?
If only 1 shift, what is the bonus incentive offered to employees to double their production?
Were all employees given a mass hypnotism creating a sudden double in production?
