Am I being compensated fairly?

Sadly pal your wife is correct. You have become a site foreman for your employer. Having been in the business for many years as a GM of operations I have had over 30 trades employed in similar roles. In my company iff what you say is correct your salary compensation should and would be in the fifty to sixty an hour range or on a salary equivalent to those numbers. We would pay regular workers on that kind of project anywhere from 25 to 30 per hour. Our six project managers earn base salaries, company vehicles, full benefits, they are also rewarded quarterly with a percentage bonus based on the profit and timeframe a job was finished.

You are definitely selling yourself very short.

Good luck

Hi Jeff,

So it sounds to me that you are a carpenter? How long have you been with the company you are currently working for? We are a General Contracting company in Muskoka and offer $28.00 - $35.00 an hour, with overtime after 44 hours. We don't supply a company vehicle, but do pay for gas. If you have been with the company for quite sometime now and they trust your workmanship then in my opinion $30.00-$35.00 an hour is fair pay.

Just like the first reply to your question. First of all always listen to your wife. Second of all of your work is good , you do well what you say you do then that salary is for a skilled worker with no other responsibilities. You are being the site manager taking on the job. You should be making minimum $50 per hour plus benefits.

In our company we pay 30 to 45 per hour just for regular experienced employees. Which by the way are very hard to find Today. You should be making $50 minimum in Ontario.

Have confidence in yourself and listen to your wife. It sounds like she is Thinking the right way. Good luck

Hi

I think you should take more than the $30 / hour and as long as you like your employer and need to stay with him so better if you talk to him about a raise and that should work as long as there is a mutual benefits between you and him. Good luck!
