new employee

[Guest wicked r1]

Ive been running a shop now for 3yrs, and I think it's time to add help . I have a guy with great experience. was wondering how to pay this guy. I've heard per window commission what would make sense?

[RICHat22]

Most shops 'round heh pay hourly if they have more then one person working on each car. But in bigger cities nearby it's per car or per job commission. Usually one person working on each car. Giving them 35% +/- of what you charge, or what's fair in your market. I personally have not seen a per window commission anywhere around where I've been.

I use a base hr + small comm. that seems

like 5.50 hr just for being there and ontime Plus 15% pre job completed. something like that so that even in the slow periods the worker is still getting something and feel compensated for his or her time.

$5.50

35% is good with a decent weekly gaurantee(350-450) if nothing shows and make him keep the place clean

good , honest, reliable cost money$$$$

yeah, but 35% comm. at NB's prices still only gives the employee about $25 bucks a 4-door.

$25 a door , I was more thinking 30% per car minus materials

5.5 an hour?!

Damn, I wouldn't take less than 20 bucks an hour WITH 15% commission, and I better be busy 10 months out of the year.

No really........

Giving them 35% +/- of what you charge. That's what I made when I worked for someone. But I did start off at 30%. And although it was a long time ago with flat glass I believe it was by the sq.ft. But I don't remember how much.

pay him/her what they are worth??????

[Guest nautiboi73]

damn that was an exapmle.

that was about hat I paid the last Shop Boy, didn't know how to tint but just cleaned and helped with sales. he made good money for not doing much work.

I'm not that tight damn.
