    Default Unsure Of How To Pay My Employees Legally

    My question involves employment and labor law for the state of: Georgia


    Hello everyone!

    Thanks in advance for any assistance

    I am a wedding planner who is going to take on employees. Since I work in side of my home, there is no set place for the employees to come to work-- most work would be done independently from their own homes or on site at meetings or coordinating the event itself.

    Additionally, I do not have a wedding every week of every month, so I'm confused as to how I should pay my employees. I initially wanted to do a commission type payment plan, with the employees making a % of the package price, paid at the intervals at which the client pays on their contract. However, I am not quite sure if this is feasible (or legal), even though it is most convenient.

    Each package's priced is based on a number of hours to complete the work. How can I verify hours when I am not in the same workspace with them? I would have to heavily rely on an honor system.

    I get that I may pay them weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly, however, I am not sure how it will work out with the verification of hours. Additionally, all of the work, will never be done in a single day-- perhaps an hour or two per day. Can I make these employees "salaried"? Or is that only for exempt business (which of course, I am not)?

    I was also considering independent contractor, however there is a degree of control that I need to maintain, which led me to go for employee status.

    I am utterly confused as to how to handle this, so if anyone could provide any assistance it would be great appreciated.
