It’s no secret that plumbing can be a very stressful job. Time constraints and high workloads, competing demands and potentially dangerous situations can all combine to create high pressure environments that negatively influence workers’ health and wellbeing.
When it comes to managing the business, never have plumbers had as many reporting obligations and demands for their time. Getting your finances right is no laughing matter when you’re self employed or a contractor working for a single or multiple employers, when you’re being paid electronically, by BACS, direct debit and of course in cash. An average plumber processing scores of invoices a week can take a couple of hours, usually on the weekend, to format and mail invoices, file receipts and expenses, reconcile bank accounts and prepare material for the accountant.
