I didn't want to click on this post...but I couldn't help myself.I see my fear was warranted!

Those kinds of numbers don't warrant an approach that could hurt you down the road, such as a loan being called or a claim not being covered.

There simply is not enough in the contract to warrant much effort on their part.

Sure, taking them in as a partner is fine, you may want to consider the financing issues with partners being considered.But, I think that's too far over the top saying that finding a deal warrants sharing in it without other participation.Giving a small percentage in title away isn't a good idea.

You don't have to always be charming, but a pleasant disposition when warranted in many circumstances is calming and appreciated and can further convey a sense of confidence when it is genuine and combined with effective knowledge and performance.I enjoyed your post.

Consider the liabilities that you are accepting as his employer..... driving around while on the clock, drunk, hits somebody...... gets hurt on the job, giant increase in WC premium for a long, long, long time...... damages products or materials during installation, guess who gets to pay for them and can't deduct them legally from his pay check...... you run out of work, he collects unemployment...These may be worst case situations, but they still exist and lets not forget incentives to being productive... hourly employees have little financial incentive to being productive, it basically comes down to a combination of a mixture fear of losing a job, how much they can get away with and of course their work ethic.What all this means is that unless there is huge gain for you somewhere beyond just a couple of thousand dollars over a year there is no way you will offset these issues, there would need to be some very large gains, possibly non-financial to warrant hiring this guy versus paying him as a 1099.

I'm also sure to have the warrant of eviction already prepared so the judge can sign it then and there.

I know the ins and outs of the courthouse (Warrant of Restitution, FTP, Holding over etc)  but this one has me stumped.

Not enough traffic to warrant a billboard. 

There are times when the "money guy" is very valuable and would warrant at least 50% of company.
