[quote=Anonymous]Here's what I would like to say to folks who work in this industry since the thread is pretty much derailed, you have to keep records people.  Don't rely on the clinic or spa to do it for you when they present your 1099 or W2 at the end of the year.  Plug in your numbers daily, get your weekly, monthly and yearly  averages so you know what you're making an hour and how many hours you're working on average, when your busiest and slowest times are, etc.  It's very helpful, it takes less than 5 minutes, and there is likely an app for it.  Since everything balances out to an average and once you know those numbers you can budget so deviations aren't any more stressful than relying on overtime availability in an hourly job, or trying to predict your year end bonus at a salaried job.  Also, while gratuity is a big chunk of our income, you don't make your money off of gratuity, you make your money off of staying consistently busy.  Even in a private practice where the therapist charges $100/hr.  It's only worth $100 if they have someone willing to take it.  [/quote]
