Just wondering?, Do you all pay more for qualifications or do you pay same for experience ?

tell her to feck off, she's getting more than a fair deal compared to a lot of other florists. Mine get time in lieu of overtime and a night out at xmas and that's it. Tell her to compare it to other places, cheeky cow. Considering she's only been qualified for 18 months she's on a 'good' wage.

glad your not my boss PL

now I agree with tulips, Im very agreeable today, how about telling her her wages will go up when the minimum wage goes up in October? If you give her one now she will want another one in October I recon

I reckon she's getting plenty for only being out of college for 18 months! I was on a high wage straight out of college but i had been running a shop for a year before I went and been workin in the same shop for 5 years before that.

You could give her a rise level with the rate of inflation. So she would get about 22p more an hour. This would be very fair in the current climate, but then you also have to take into account the increase in the minimum wage in October. Maybe she could have her rise now, but with October in mind. Make it a yearly pay review.

Yes, but then every time she demands a pay rise she'll be getting one if you give her one in this instance. You've already said you're quieter, just explain that to her. Unfortunately many employees just see the till ring and think that you are making loads of money. It's not often they realise how much you have to pay out in overheads.

I totally agree PL many years ago , one of my staff told a customer, on my day off, that i was in town spending money faster than she earns it!! i was fuming when the customer told me what she'd said. What your staff dont see, is when the shop is quiet and you are the one to go WITHOUT wages.They have no idea what goes out in the everyday running of your business. If you cannot afford the pay rise, dont be bullied into it, otherwise you may find yourself in this position every year?
