I would hate to loose an employee but you should get more then 20%. Will this increase your insurance? I would insist on the 70%. I would love to just pay someone 20% to work in their salon. If she wants that good of a deal then she needs to pay a flat booth rent for her machine.   Angie Winger

When I was an employee, we supplied all of our own equipment ("non- perishables). The owner supplied all of the gel, files, polish etc. at a 55/45 % split. She can write it off on her taxes and her work life is better. *shrug* Heather Sent from my iPod On Jan 6, 2010, at 3:46 PM, Kelley Ki

Depends. Out of that 30% are you still buying supplies? If not then 80% is fair. Think hard before you pull the 'its my spa card'. Is it worth it to risk losing an employee who has been with you for 'many years' over 10%? Did she mention she was looking for one before she bought it? Had she ev

This is your spa. The employee should have talked with you first before she purchased the machine and brought it into your spa. This is only good business practice. You have the right to tell her that she cannot use the machine in your spa and charge your clients a price unless she pays you 70%. Yo
