How much should i be paid for this work?

Question

hello i am 17 and working 4 days this week to earn some money. im working with my freinds dad painting and decorating. I have had no other proper past exp i am doing jobs like painting the front of a house and sanding down door frames etc. I start work at about 8:30 to about 5:30 and spend roughly 2 hours of that time having lunch and waiting for a job to do. i am currently getting £25 a day.

Answer 1

For a job like that with no experience you should be getting paid around $10 an hour. So that adds up to about $70 a day including your lunch and breaks it sounds like he is trying to take advantage of you and not pay you the average rate.

Answer 2
