Hello, (not sure if this is the right place to post this)
I was wondering how groomers (who work for someone else) are paid. I groom part time (due to having two small children) and I work on a 50% commission and receive a 1099 at the end of the year. The shop I work for also offers 'table rental' if I would like to go full time. I figure with table rental I could make double if not triple what I'm making now. I was just wondering if those experienced with table rental knew much more about it. Namely how taxes and compensation works. I understand I would get 100% of the money from my grooms and just pay the shop owner the amount for the table each month. What I question is would clients make their checks out to me? Or the shop? At the end of the day do I take home what I made or do I collect at the end of the week. Also, lets be real if I make cash Im not gonna want to claim 'all' of it (yeah I know its wrong). This may be something that you come up with with the shop owner but I was hoping someone with experience with this topic would give me some insight so I am more knowledgeable when we talk about it. I want it to be worth my while if I'm going to put my kids in daycare. Also, I have been burned before by a grooming shop owner so I want to protect myself in any way possible. And if you have knowledge about it and think its a bad idea I'd like to know more about it. I have yet to find a negative to it being the money would be so much more. Working for 50% I'm pretty much already paying the table fee if not more... I'm just scared bc of my kids and I dont want to get screwed (again)... sigh
Thanks so much for your time
