When I started out the biggest shocker to me was the cost of building up my tool box. Mic's, calipers, squares, etc. You know the routine. But I did it, I had to and so did everyone else. Now I'm on the other end of things and training guys that need to do the same. My patience is wearing thin and we're on the verge of growing again. I want to set a precedence before I bring in more help.
I've tried forcing them to do it within a certain time of employment. Heavy hand hasn't seemed to work
I've tried setting up tool loans where I put together a kit/box and they pay me out of their wages. They don't seem to take care of them like the tools are their own. The other problem is a number of time people quit before they've paid me back, then I have a situation where I own half the tools and they own half (used and abused).
Do you know if banks or credit unions do small loans $250-500 for people to buy work tools?
Right now I'm looking at going back to the heavy handed approach - Have your tools by a certain date or quit. That's a last resort. Any other ideas?
