Any plumbers here getting paid by piece work?

[Robins36]

Hey all!

Currently working for a plumbing company in Edmonton and getting paid hourly and have had a few job offers, but they are paid piece work which means they get paid a set amount to do certain jobs. I’m looking for info before putting in my notice… the grass is always greener on the other side until you get over there is a saying I’ve heard throughout my career. 13 years with this company that’s treated me pretty well throughout those years but recently has me questioning things.

What I’d like to know is how many hours you get for each stage of new residential builds and if it works out good for you. I’m concerned that the hours they give you to complete a rough in is doable without letting your quality of workmanship go down the drain like a large #2.

Pm me if you would like.

Thanks,

Daryl
