Remodeling: We Do It Every Day

WHEN TO HOLD’EM AND WHEN TO FOLD’EM

March 9th, 2009 by Bruce Case

If/when you have to cutback your team, how do you know the best way to approach it? I have read articles and heard some remodelers suggest cutting back the hours of all their team members to save on payroll – forcing their field team to take 2 days off a month, cutting everyone to 32 hours per week, etc. On the other hand, this penalizes everyone on the team rather than the Owner laying off a couple of people so that the remaining team members can get a full weeks pay. Neither approach is fun, but if something has to give what do you think is the best solution?
