Should you tip a dog groomer who owns the business?
Generally, you don’t tip a groomer who owns the business.
Can a groomer be classified as an independent contractor?
Groomers classified as independent contractors are self-employed. They are not covered by employment and related tax laws or, typically, by benefit plans. Employment law presumes that groomers are employees. Absolute determinations made by one firm rule just don’t exist.
How to write a contract for a groomer?
A description of the grooming services the independent contractor will perform, be somewhat specific (start to finish), prep, bathing, drying, styling etc. A description of how much you will pay the IC for grooming services performed. It can be calculated by commission or other formulas.
Can a grooming business be classified as an I.C.?
Few groomers are correctly classified as I.C.’s. Grooming business owners need to act fast, especially if the wave of new additional legislation against misclassification of workers continues and echoes the severe responses of the State of California. One easy measure is to consult an employment law attorney to examine your I.C. classifications.
Why do you need an independent contractor agreement?
Most important, a written independent contractor agreement helps establish a worker’s independent contractor status by showing the IRS and other agencies that both you and the worker intended to create an appropriate, legal independent contractor relationship, not an employer/employee relationship.
