I got my very first commission check today (yay!). I was just looking at the statement, and I was wondering why I had the insurance ($2) deducted twice? I only had one show the end of September.

Also- if I have a month where there are no shows, do I still have to pay the insurance? Do they bill me for it?

And lastly- do I need to be worrying about a business license? Do I need to talk to my director about this? My husband just brought up the possibility to me today, and I guess I just didn't think I'd need one!

Thanks in advance!
 
The insurance is for Spet and Oct. If you do not have a show during one month they will deduct out of the next check you receive.

To my knowledge you do not need a business license but each town, county and state can have different laws.
 
When did you sign? You don't need a business license.
 
October insurance will be taken out of the October month-end check (paid Nov. 10).If you signed in August, then one of them would be insurance for August. You will have the insurance deduction for each month, even if you don't have any shows in a given month. In fact, if you go inactive then HO will deduct it for each month you're inactive when you finally reactivate.
