Question

Can a plumber charge a full day's wage if he turns up 2 hours late?

Answer 1

nop.

Answer 2

I would have to say no. They should actually cut that person a break for being late in the first place. That is bad customer service. Technically, how can they charge you a full day unless they were there on time? You should check to see if they have some policy that you may have unknowingly signed.

Answer 3

Actually the other replies are too brief in assuming "no" is the answer. You should provide more information. On what basis do you say they shared a full day wage? If you were charged for the job being completed and you 'feel' it is equivalent to a full day wage, then they are right and you're not. If they actually gave you a receipt that charged (say) 8 hours when in fact they were there for 6, then you have an issue and should have taken it up with the person on the spot. Most service people have a knack for showing up "late" which is why they normally give you a range of time they will come out. I think the issue here is how they actually invoiced you, rather then what time they turned up.

Answer 4

not really but then who can say what they charge?

Answer 5

No...
