The duration of this training may vary greatly depending on the Employee and other conditions of the workplace. During training the Employee will be instructed by a senior technician with the goal being: in the final weeks the senior technician is completely hands off and allowing the Employee to operate independently as tho running his/her calls alone. During the course of training the employee will be compensated for their time at a rate of $100 per day.
Please acknowledge while participating in training the senior technician will make every effort to have the employee back to shop around 5pm. HOWEVER, Employee needs to acknowledge that this is NOT a 9-5 job prior to accepting a position or signing a contract with Company

During the first three months Employee will be guaranteed $500 base pay with the opportunity to earn more based on the same commission rate all technicians are paid. Please understand, YOU DO NOT MAKE $500 AND THEN WHATEVER YOU EARNED BASED ON YOUR PERCENTAGE. You are guaranteed $500, and then based on your percentage you earned over your base pay, you will receive the difference in the two.
Wages after the first 90 days:
After three months with the company we feel that the Employee should be operating at a high enough performance rate to earn an equal playing field as all other technicians.
