I'm still quite a ways off, about 8 months, but the future looks bright!

 

Anyway, its time for me to start writing employee handbooks and a shop operations manual. I have a few templates, but they are pretty general. I know a lot of the "my shop specific" items I want in these, but a lot of the cookie-cutter type tasks and items I'm sure I will forget trying to write the entire document from scratch.

 

Would any of you be willing to share these documents for your shop with me? I would very much appreciate you all's help!

I hope in these uncertain times that you all stay healthy and continue to thrive with your shops.

Questions/needed guidance from the forum would greatly be appreciated. I currently have 1 mechanic  that is salary. This mechanic takes on heavy line work for us. Removing and installing transmissions. Engine replacements. Things of that natue.

I am adding another mechanic to my crew and wanted him to be on a more flag/possible performance pay plan to suit his style of work for daily jobs that would include maintenance work, brakes, tune ups, ETC. I was curious what pay plans you all had out there for a mechanic of this style and possibly pros/cons to it as well

Any and all help would be greatly appreciated. 

Henry
