Should I pay ?

I’m going to guess 1099 “contractor”

In which case I would tell him get ####ed

 

When you first started what was the specific agreement on pay? You mention expenses so was it a percentage of net revenue?

 

Did you get paid W2 or 1099 ?

 

Your kinda screwed then…… I would just Ignore him. Obviously listing him as a job will be a problem……

 

When you're employed by someone an driving their equipment, their insurance should cover their damage to equipment in the event of an accident. Only way you would be responsible is if you were buying the equipment thru a lease purchase or outright loan arrangement. In which case you would have insurance for such an event.

 

Sounds like a learning experience. You may have a couple more curveballs ahead from it but it sounds like you're mentally prepared for that.

If you don't mind, what services do you view as being covered by the 30% cut they took (I get you were on the hook for his lease out of your cut) and what type of arrangement will you look for moving forward? Straight cpm, percentage, local hourly?

 

chicken.....

 

$1500 is probably lower then his deductible….

not that that’s OPs problem
