How to Pay Lawn & Landscape Employees Ep. #546

How much should you pay a mower, landscape laborer, applicator or crew leader? Pajak breaks down why job titles alone don't determine wages and explains how skill, responsibility, productivity, independence and your local labor market should influence compensation. Most importantly, he discusses why paying higher wages only works when your pricing and production can support them.
