I took a newly qualified level 3 stylist on in June 19, so almost 2 years ago. Initially I was disappointed by her work - sloppy, no attention to detail, didn't have a basic understanding of colour theory, etc. Although her attendance and punctuality have always been good, her work ethic wasn't - lazy, unorganised, no enthusiasm - on more than one occasion I considered sacking her. I'm so glad I didn't. Her work has improved dramatically over the year, she is enthusiastic, organised and passionate, and I want to reflect that in her pay. Problem is, with an uncertain economy I don't think now is the right time to increase her basic wage.
She is currently on minimum wage (£8.20ph), plus 50p per hour attendance/punctuality bonus. She's never had a day off and is seldom late - I wouldn't even consider docking her bonus on these occasions, so realistically she's on £8.70ph. My question is, what would be a fair way of calculating commission for her? Do I give her a flat rate of say 15% on everything she does? Do I give her more generous commission on her takings after her basic pay has been deducted? Neither of us are interested in her becoming self employed and she hasn't asked for a pay rise, commission, etc but she deserves it and I want her to know how much I value her.
Any suggestions please?
