Then you don't keep them.. I'll let you in on a lil secrect. I paid piece work, meaning they earned what they were worth. You give an employe incentive to work hard as in earning more, then most will.
If someone was an obvious loafer, then they didn't last long. I was doing this with a commercial lawn service and a commercial cleaning service meaning I was hiring low skill workers. This was back in the mid to late 90s and it was pretty common my guys would make around $400/week which was way over min wage then and still more than it is now.
I got out of both of those business after about 10 years, I started the lawn service when I was in 11th grade in HIgh Scool. Eventually I got tired of dealing with all of it and choose to do business which I could run on my own.
I've been around family members whom have had large businesses all my life. I realized it wasn't that important to me to work 80hr weeks to keep building a businesses. I decided I'd rather enjoy my life, which is what I do now.
