    I was merely using some random figures, but the site I was working on was turning over a million pounds per month, so increasing the guys wages by 60 per week is hardly large sum worth worrying about, but the goodwill given to the lowest paid person on that site would be ten fold.

    Then what about all the employees on £6-£7ph who are also doing a decent job and have more responsibility?

    Are you going to increase their wages too - if not, they'll be pretty peeved and any goodwill shown to the lowest paid will quickly evaporate.
