My husband has been doing telesales for a winery for about a year now, and he’s at his wits end - he HATES it, to the point where it’s affecting his mental health and our family life. He rarely pulls in more than $1000/paycheck (bi-monthly, net not gross), it’s hourly/commission based, and we live in a HCOL area. I’m the breadwinner, but we can’t make ends meet on my income alone. We have about $1000 in savings.
His mom and stepdad have owned a company for over 13 years, and they just opened a new storefront after being home-based for years. He really wants to work for them, and hopes it will lead to him owning the company when they’re ready to retire. Another factor is that he wants to have a more flexible schedule once our daughter starts Kindergarten in August so we can pay WAY less for child care (paying $700/month right now for FT). His parents have no employees, it’s just them.
Does anyone here have experience working for their family? I’m a little concerned because their history has been rocky, but the relationship has improved since our daughter was born. Should he be 1099? Should we draft an employment contract? Has anyone had any great/awful experiences we should consider?
I appreciate the feedback - thanks all!
