The report put the cost of remedial work for the paving and repointing at £2,150 (plus VAT). A chartered building surveyor expert confirmed the poor standard of the work the paving had left some of the drainage outlets paved over and the repointing was described as being “of exceptionally poor quality”. The victim complained to the TSS, who carried out an investigation. In total, the victim paid £3,350 to Mr Doherty. In early September 2021 Mr Doherty demanded further payment for work which the homeowner says she never asked him to do this included cleaning the roof and repointing the front boundary wall. Mr Doherty arrived the next day with some workmen to begin the job and received payment as the work progressed. Mr Doherty called to her home in Belfast in August 2021 and it was agreed that he would lay some paving stones to the front and rear of her property for a quoted price of £2,500. The victim contacted Mr Doherty after seeing an advertisement for Drives and Patios on Facebook Marketplace. Mr Doherty pleaded guilty to one charge of failing to carry out work to a professional standard of skill and care and one charge of failing to provide documentation, including the consumer’s cancellation rights, as required by law. In a case brought by the Department for the Economy’s Trading Standards Service (TSS), Barney Doherty (23), of Longlands Avenue, Newtownabbey, trading as Drives and Patios, pleaded guilty to two charges under the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008. This article originally appeared on -employed tradesman given a conditional discharge and ordered to pay compensation of £2,750 to his victim. The new salary tool will be available beginning Wednesday to users in the U.S., U.K. Coupling that behavior with salary information certainly makes sense. But LinkedIn has a large user base and lots of people who already use the site to post and find jobs. Glassdoor has offered salary info for particular careers and cities for years, and PayScale, which does the same, has been around for well over a decade. LinkedIn isn’t the only one looking out for you, of course. “We’re very excited about this not just being something that people visit to answer questions, but part of a general theme of LinkedIn looking out for you in your career.” “To learn via LinkedIn that there’s a new trending skill and it actually impacts compensation in your field - you need to know that,” Dan Shapero, the lead for LinkedIn’s career products, told Recode. It also plans to draw correlations between salary info and other LinkedIn info, like skills and level of education. LinkedIn says it’s not currently getting salary info from companies themselves, but that it may someday in the future. But the idea is that you need to give a little in order to get a little. LinkedIn says this information won’t be used on your profile, and it’s stored anonymously on the company’s servers. In order to use the product, you need to share your own salary information with LinkedIn (or pay for a premium account). LinkedIn wants to aggregate that salary information from its more than 460 million registered members and then pass out the collective insights for free. It seems like a helpful tool - salary information is usually kept private, which can make it uncomfortable to discuss with colleagues or potential colleagues. The professional network is adding salary information to its collection of user data so people can use that info to compare and contrast potential employers, cities and career paths when looking for a new job. What’s your annual compensation like? Do you get a bonus? What about stock compensation?
