Next month I finally roll out a new service & hire an employee.
I have one little detail I am struggling with though.
I kinda want to keep my pricing away from my employee. But at the same time want to be paid promptly.
Should I send him out with a pre-filled invoice & have the customer pay in the mail?
Should I keep it all snail mail? Mail invoice, they mail payment.
Should I set aside a day to drive around & collect?
I worry that if the employee finds out pricing info, after a few months he will become my competition. I don't need that headache.
As this is a 3 hour service, & he will be doing 2-3 a day i just cant envision any other way to collect payment than by having the employee getting paid at the end of the job.
How do you service guys with employees do it?
