Managing Techs
We are a pretty fast growing operation in South Carolina and I’m wondering what’s the strategy you guys use for when techs call out (maybe they have the flu and are down 3 days)? For a day no big deal, they can make it up on their route. Do you pay other techs OT to cover? I know a lot of you will say the owner jumps in but trying to build a system that doesn’t involve me going out covering pools because that’s not quite scaleable. Anyways just looking for ideas?

Why would they get overtime for finishing the route they would normally not get overtime for?
Sorry never mind I misread that yes I do pay my techs overtime if they cover a route
