Give him same percentage as you pay your \nbusiness promoters.\nSince its your biggest project you can even \nthink about paying him a higher percentage\nthan usual. Or else it could set a bad mindset\namong employees.

I agree with Tom T.  I'm a landlord AND an attorney, and while you may not legally be forced to sign a new lease, as your landlord I would explain to you that you knew very well that you had to pay an additional pet fee, and you acknowledge that you should be paying that higher amount but for my assistant's honest error.\n\nTherefore, what I'd probably end up doing is looking for every opportunity to be a stickler on the rules.  If your cat/dog steps a paw out of line, if your party gets a bit too loud, etc.  If you want to slide through the cracks on your rent because "technically" you don't have to pay more, I'd be looking for every "technicality" to show you the pendulum can swing both ways.  It's just human nature.\n\nIt's just like an employer - while there are certainly things they can't legally fire you for, if an employer wants to get rid of you, they can usually find a legal way of doing it.\n\nThe bottom line is, you're not setting a very good precedent for a positive, constructive relationship with your landlord if you know you should be paying more but you're taking advantage of an honest error.  The mature, honest thing to do would be to sign the modified lease.  I'd let them know, however, that legally you don't have to, but you're trying to "do the right thing."  As a landlord, I'd then feel like I really needed to cut you some slack when other stuff happened (like your rent is a day or two late).\n*****************\nYou have not retained my services as an attorney, and I am not representing you in any manner.  Nothing I have written is to be construed as legal advice.  If you have questions about your legal issues, it is strongly recommended that you consult with an attorney who is admitted to practice in the state where you reside.

I suggest you find a local (Montreal) agent that deals with international clients.  Call around and find one that works with "business" people that live and work in different cities.  It is very common in most large cities for people to do this.  I wouldn't use an agent from New England unless they live part-time in Montreal.

Agents charge anywhere from 5% to 25%, managers generally charge 15% to 25%. A manager and agent cannot by law be the same, they have different things they can do legally that the other one can't. That is because a manager makes decisions for  an actor or an artist from a long term career view whereas a booking agent or talent agent is more concerned about short term income and not thinking so much about the artist's career longevity in general only about the income from the next project. This could present poor decisons made that would not be in the best interest of the artist and that's why in 1977  a law went into effect that disallowed managers from booking their acts or artists on an engagement or into a venue, an area only someone licensed as a talent agent is legally allowed to do. Nor is a talent agent allowed to make decisions or act on behalf of an artist except for booking into venues and engagements.

Office Manager is a very difficult title to determine compensation for because managing an office could constitute a very wide variety of skills and job requirements.  The more that you are responsible for, the more you will get paid.  I have seen Office Managers that function as the controller of a small business in addition to the general office management duties -- that would probably pay higher than someone that is responsible for making sure that there's a cleaning company hired to come empty the waste baskets and vacuum the floor.

Check your lease terms. I am sure that your landlord and manager would understand. Don't forget to give a proper notice in advance.

My personal view is that they shouldn't start charging until both parties have agreed that the employment is acceptable.  They agree that the problem is solvable by the consultant and they're written up a contract.  Before that is just fluff.  But, consultants want more money, so they'll argue that they spent valuable time there and so on.

I would discuss this with your company management and see what they say.  If they're providing the home office, they probably have guidelines for deciding issues like this.

Wow... this really is one of those "it depends" answers.  \n\nBefore I even go into what "depends", I'll throw out a simple, but likely incomplete answer:  \n - Assuming the "management" in question is actually getting paid by the business as part of running the business, AND there is an interest by the investor to actually split profit (more on this later), reasonable splits could be anwhere from 80 / 20 at a HIGH end to as small as 97 / 3 at a lower end with the investor getting the big number.\n\nBut let's step back.  \n\nFirst, there's some information missing.  \n  - What' the "exit plan" for the business? Is there any intent to sell the business to some other entity down the road to unlock much more value than normal profit?  If not, why not?  It may be the business is not sell-able easily etc and that the goal is simply to "milk" the profit to provide value to the participants.  \n\n  -  How MUCH capital has been provided to the venture relative to the sales of the company and profit and the amount paid to management as part of their compensation.  Both the investor and the management person / team have an opportunity cost to be a part of the venture.  The investor is giving up capital that could be used elsewhere for other investments that could return more.  The management is giving up their choice of employment and could choose a different employer to make more $$$.  So, another factor is to look at the "Sunk Cost" provided by the management relative to the size and revenue of the business and the management compensation as a % of the business and as is comporable in the market.  The goal is to look for an equitable balance in terms of "participation".  For instance, If management receives $50,000 for their "effort" via compensation and the venture in the business is $200,000 which, earning 10% in the stock market would normally earn $20,000 the it's important to look at:\n-  Would management recieve more somewhere else?  Let's say no that the $50,000 is comparable.\n-  Is 10% for the investor a reasonable expectation in the "market".  I know that large corporate venture folks use around 15% as a typical hurdle rate rather than 10%.  For a small business, though, I find 10% - 12% is reasonable.  So, let's say 10% works and therefore the investor can assume a $20,000 return every year.  \n-  If the Profit is $35,000, it would be reasonable to assume the capital holder would get $20,000 of the $35,000 "off the top" (what we often call a "preference") leaving $15,000 to be the actual amount split. Often, if there is no stock participation (a little more on that in a sec) and the company didn't need the $15,000, the rightful "owner" of the $15k is the Capital provider since they are the one who "owns" the company (I'm assuming there has to be some agreement in place that provides a lien on company assets or something as part of the capital contribution).  \n  -  So, it really is up to the capital owner to decide to forgo some of the $15k to the management team as an "incentive" or "reward" based on their performance.  But AGAIN, this assumes you don't need the $35k profit to run the business to begin with.  If you take the $$ out of the business and the business becomes cash poor, the capital provider shouldn't take anything because it puts the actual original investment at risk.\n\nThis begs the question... what's the ownership structure of the business?  There should be some "split" of ownership between management and the investor.  Even in a simple "S" Corporation you have shareholders and percentages.  Same in an LLC.  If you have set up stock or "participation shares" or similiar then any profit going out of the business is simply shared baseed on those percentages based on the board or manag

do what is best for the client. if the project has nothing to do with a client you should create 2 project plans and send them both to each boss as an attachment with a not that reads something like you boss #1 should work with boss #2 and try to consolidate your conflicting ideas.

It depends on whether or not there is a union in your business. Another thing, are you staff or management? Either way, you would have to negotiate.

Blowing things off for management to do is ok but it's really not the answer.  Management expects the employees they pay to work out their own issues.  \n\nIf an attempt to work this out with her has already been taken (you've actually DISCUSSED this with this lady) and nothing was done, THEN you discuss it with management.\n\nIf you haven't talked to her already, then talk to her.  Let her know what the problem is.  She honestly may not be aware that she has a problem.\n\nAnd you would be doing her a greater service talking to her personally rather than letting her hear it from management and then finding out that everyone was talking about her behind her back.  Bad form!!!  Talk to her.
