The way it works for my mate is he gets 27k, a 2 bedroom cottage on the estate grounds (fully maintained) and a company car (Defender 110 pick up, awesome thing!), but in return he works when he's needed to. If nothing needs doing then he can sit on his arse which is how it tends to be sometimes, but he has spells where he'll be up at 3am and working until 10pm when a pheasant shoot is on, and then he'll have to get up in the night and fix fences, clear floods, herding animals...
