Full time day in cash

I owe one of my full time colleague a day work(8 hours). Due to I’m on special leave, I want to pay him in cash.

How much would you pay?

Thanks

Put it this way, if a guy in the boozer ask me to get up the crack of dawn, lug a load of bags around no matter the weather, chance of catching coved, and full on for 8 hours I would be insulted if it was anything less than a ton.

Maybe £75 if you feeling generous

I think a ton is a nice round number. Anything less is a bit tight

The cash jobs in my office go for £15 a row. They outbid each other, I kid you not.

it used to be about 50 to 70/75 quid, but there's bloke in our office (heavy gambler) was always wanting time off for race meetings so he raised the bar by offering a hundred quid to cover his duty. (mind, it a s**t duty, all hills and steps)....so now anyone wanting their duty covered has to match the ''wonna'' price tag.

If your mate did you a favour (which it sounds like), I'd pay him your full basic rate plus delivery supplement before any tax or NI taken off
as he'll have missed out on any of that work payment (which I'm assuming you've been paid incl. the RM pension contribution) going towards his pension.
That's what I'd do anyway......

8 x 12.29 = 98.32, so 100 quid cash sounds about right.

You dont miss out on any payment on your rest day, if you work your rest day its about £90 less tax so £80 is about right.

Why are you paying someone if you are on special leave?

Doh, good point cpsteve, didn't pick up on the logic of that but even so it seems the colleague has done the OP a favour so I'd still give the 100 quid personally.

I thought that but I'm wondering if the special leave would only be granted if the OP could get someone to cover...? You know
how unsympathetic some managers can be sometimes.....

Thanks for all replies folks!

We are outside of London.
£80 is about right.
I wish I make £100 a day, so I can pay him £100.

I owed him a day last February. No idea when I'll be back to work.
