Eric Blair Posted April 12, 2020 Report Share Posted April 12, 2020 I am looking for the average houriy pay for the Chapala Haciendas area. I am responding to a blog post comparing Ajijic prices/costs to Chapala. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapalence Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 $75/hr and we employ him throughout the year. Some want him only sometimes and to our way of thinking, that is not fair to him. We also give him an extra $500 from time to time and $1000 in December, as well as un prestamo whenever he asks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo1 Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 My gardener is over paid for how much he does. He gets 87.5 pesos an hour. He used to be decent but the last few months has been lackadaisical and leaves early. I shorted him the hours he didn't work last week so he quit. Good, now I don't have to pay finiquito.

Tingting Posted April 13, 2020 Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 87.50/hour in CH. We've had our gardener ever since we first moved here (15 years ago) and always give a % increase at the first of the year. He comes in, does his thing, and goes. We don't clock him or demand that he be here at "X" time, just that it's day A and day B. He has a key to the outer gate, arrives, does his job and then leaves. We may or may not see him, depending on what we have going on. If we need something special done, he cheerfully does it. If it means extra effort, we give him extra. Hubby often joins him for a chat and a beer. We give holiday pay, more than the aguinaldo at Xmas, plus a decent Xmas basket. Any time off needed is given, no questions asked, and we still pay. Why? He's honest and hard working. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Blair Posted April 13, 2020 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2020 I forgot to mention, my wife pays $105.00 per hour, but we only need him randomly, 2 hours every 3 weeks. Not much gardening need it for cement and Flagstone. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
