SUBBIES OR FULL TIME STAFF: WHICH IS BETTER?

THIS is a question that every business owner has pondered. Getting your staffing mix right at the best of times is tricky! So here’s our short pro/con list!

Subbie Pro

When you are just starting out, or in a growth stage of your business, then a subbie is a great way to ‘test the water’ without complete commitment.

They’re awesome when you feel you are ready for a new tradesperson but don’t feel you have enough consistent work for fulltime staff.

You have no commitment with them, for instance: if you don’t like them or work dries up, you’re not in any binding agreements to give them work. They just don’t work that week and you save big on wages!
