Discussion Board:
Bulletin Boards > Salon Benefits

Please use this topic to discuss benefits such as health insurance, paid vacations, 401K, and bonuses.  Does your salon offer benefits?  Do you work commission or salary?  What do you think of your benefits package?  Are you utilizing these benefits even though they may appear costly to you?  What would you like to see change in salon benefits?

Are you self-employeed?  If you do not have a spouse that is receiving health insurance and 401K - what are you doing to protect yourself?  Are you planning for your future?  Is aquiring private health insurance easy for you and your family?

Please discuss the issues related to our industry in regards to benefits under this topic.

No bashing certain companies please.  This is a I want to learn topic, to see what is the industry norm at this point.  Thank you so much.
