I’ve just been to speak to someone about a self employed position within a beauty salon. It’s a popular place who’ve been going for 7 years now.
Anyway, at the meeting I was told:
- I will work consistent hours.
- I am expected to stay at the salon even if I don’t have clients during my hours.
- All money goes into the till and then the salon will create an invoice and I will be paid at the end of the week my percentage (40%).
- I will need to use the salon’s price list.
- I will need to get a uniform.
- I will be able to use the current client base but the owner would like some of her clients back after a while (I wasn’t 100% sure what she meant by this but).
I was told what the other therapists earn (a very good wage) and also told that the last girl who worked there didn’t do well due to picking a choosing customers and going to the gym in her free time.
Now, the people there are lovely and the owner was honest about all of this and said I need to be comfortable with working that way but to me it sounds like an employed position.
I’m completely new to all this so I’m just looking for people’s opinions on it really. How would you feel about this position? Thanks a lot
