I would love to see an article that helps owners explain this system to their staff! These projections are great, but it would be incredibly helpful to have some strategies for implementing this policy 🙂

What are your qualifications? Mine are smeared all over this website, and all my claims link to statutes. Everything you’ve written here–literally everything–is wrong. Go read some more. Educate yourself. Absolutely nothing is “illegal under any circumstance” (even murder–look it up). There are no absolutes in law. You’re also wrong about write-offs and the social security contribution rate. Seriously. Just stop.

It also can be considered a form of booth rental (notice a form not exactly, but independent)
Once a worker builds a book in a commission or salary salon they many times go into the records (illegal under any circumstance) and get their names and addresses (this is theft). They then sometimes work on other staff to leave the salon to make their move feel better in their minds. And now with social media there are unscrupulous owners in-boxing people with followings to steal them. Therefore the IC or 1099 worker is in many cases exactly what owners should be doing since they will take their so called book anyway. It is legal when done properly without control etc etc and is not a bad working model. It is not that much money in taxes that an owner pays but the costs associated with building a book only to have it stolen might be worth the change form a losing system as commission 50 to 70% in some cases (held up for ransom by some)
BTW: as an IC the workers receive more tax write offs than a commission worker so whats the big deal SS = 6% it is their money anyway which will be returned one day in retirement

I do the same thing! I know it’s too damn late to be reading when I have to re-read the same sentence over and over and over again…and I still can’t remember what it said by the time I’ve reached the period at the end. 😀

A lot of them are expressing interest in working somewhere that utilizes this compensation method. They like the idea of a guaranteed wage and that this system makes overstaffing incredibly unlikely. I’ve had a lot of owners contact me asking how they can convince their staff to switch to this method, so I suppose I should work on an article that outlines all that next. As long as the owners have a solid plan for what kind of benefits the employees can expect and when they can expect to see those benefits come into effect, things will go smoothly for the most part. You’ll always have one or two that rebel and leave, but a lot of employees want things like paid vacation and regular continuing education courses. My first owner used to pay for the entire salon to go to Premiere Orlando every year–rooms, dinners, tickets, everything. These little things greatly improve employee satisfaction and minimize turnover when they’re executed correctly.

Now if only employees would understand how this system is best for all concerned!
