50%-60% ? wages

[anon]

Hello, virgin geek here, dont know if im in the right place to ask this question? but can anyone tell me if a salon owner can suddenly go from taking 50% of wages and raise it to 60%?

Depends if there is a contract in place. Maybe they have done their books and realised that at 50% they are making a loss on employing you? It would certainly be the case in a vat registered salon.

Hi , firstly you should all have some sort of contract in place which should legally protect yourself and the Salon owner ....


Can you tell us what they supply and how does the Salon system work ?
a brief outline would be good ?

If they are supplying stock etc.... then 60% is the norm.
You are self employed though so you set your own hours.

Industry norm is that stylist gross pay should be 33% of their takings for the salon to survive.
