Looking for opinions here:
Company has two owners
Company has an office manager that does most of the day to day stuff and assume any other non-inspection work is split equally amongst the partners
Company has several employees that are compensated roughly 50% of the inspection fee on the jobs they perform
What is the most equitable method of compensating the owners?
A: Owners pay all their own personal expenses (vehicle, computer, tools, etc.) and get what's left from their own inspections as well as share in the profit/loss from the other inspectors and general company operating expenses?
B: Owners are paid the 50% just like the employees for the inspections they perform and the company pays all of each owners expenses as well as all other general company expenses?
C: Some other idea - please explain
The difference between A & B only becomes different when there is an imbalance in the # of inspections performed (or $$ made) between the owners. Otherwise, it would be the same.
