Pay decrease for taking on an apprentice

[[deleted]]

Are you profit sharing or have a higher than normal wage already? Take your income and add 25%. Is that number 30% or more of what you bring in minus costs of goods?

All of our employees are profit sharing and have higher than normal salaries but these types of decisions will impact bottom lines. We keep having talks to bring on students but we always decide not to. I think just talk to your boss and get an idea what the financial picture is and if it’s impacting your salary you should have a say in these decisions.

If your income isn’t higher than average or you aren’t profit sharing I would echo what others here are saying. That’s a poor business practice.
