well it doesnt make sense why a nice young lad in his 20s should say this,i just said to him do you enjoy the job and he said it was fine,but he was leaving soon,presume end of the month,to work for chesterfield council housing as he had a family and could earn £8,000 a year more,now this was sat morning ,now do they pay more overtime,i dont know  why he would lie,and why leave?

[kidley 48]

no reflection on you Stephen, but some thing is not quit rite with what he says, he may have said, he is going to work in Chesterfield and earn  8K more than he is getting now with SCC?

[bungleboy69 98]

Maybe there is a better bonus scheme over in Chesterfield, or perhaps availability of overtime? I don't think they'll be paying such a percentage premium over Sheffield rates. 

 

Most people know that working for the council as a tradesman doesn't pay well at all, but you do get good holidays, generous sick pay and the best pension around.

No decent electrician would be working for the council. Too much money to be made elsewhere for skilled, knowledgeable and quick tradespersons.

i agree ,but sometimes a younger say 20 ish or say 25 with a young family may not be in a position to gamble on self employment,but this doesnt answer the question

of what council pay electricans in sheffield/chesterfield.
