I thought it would be nice to hear everyone's opinions, both salon owners and employees, whether trial days should be paid or not. It seems to be a big issue at the moment.
In my opinion they should be paid. I have been used far too many times to do a free trial day or more when looking for a job. I am very happy to do a trade test -anything let's say up to 2-3hours on a member of staff. That should be enough for them to see my skills and interaction with the "client".
Few times I was put into a situation when after the interview I was asked to come back and spend the whole day working on paying public for free and they considered this as a "trial day".
What does everyone think ? Should trial days be paid or unpaid?
