What are the things that should be avoided by a relative working in the company? First, they should not use things from the company for their own benefit. The company PC is for invoicing, not for someone’s son to play videogames. The company pickup truck is for promotions, or to transport merchandise, or fertilizer, not to go barhopping in the next town.

From Ebay to the smallest home-operated start-up, e-businesses of all sizes struggle to accurately answer a common question: who are my customers? If you can’t answer that question, chances are you’re also in the dark about the following questions. What customer demand trends can I expect in the future? How can I improve customer retention? What can I do to build long-term relationships of trust with customers? Knowing the answer to these questions can mean the difference between long-term growth and profitability and crashing and
Al McClymont: I have one last question that I am sure you hear many times, and I also imagine that it’s one that makes for heated debate every time you give your opinion.
How much should family members working in a family-owned business company earn?
J.C. Aimetta: A simple and convincing answer should be: Exactly the same that would be paid to any other employee as competent as the family member, for the same job in the company.
Another way of defining this would be: the same that this person would be able to earn if he or she worked in a different company.
Sometimes I joke about this, and suggest that family-owned businesses should ask a family member that is working and earning money there to send his CV to the companies offering jobs in the classifieds. If after two months the CV has not been chosen for a job interview, the conclusion is simple: the only place where this relative can work is in this company. And they are not working there because of their aptness, but because they are a relative.
It is also necessary to pay attention to “hidden income”. What do I mean by this? I am referring to the possibility of enjoying economic benefits that are not strictly remuneration.
In family-owned businesses, it’s common that the family and company cash registers get “confused”. The cable bill is paid through the company cash register, the car payment is made from the company cash register, holidays are paid from the company cash register.
Therefore, there is a lack of control over withdrawals. Hence, this is a person who earns little but actually takes a lot. As this is not transparent, the equation is foggy at best, and can generate many conflicts.

Of the dozen or so ways to find a job, which ones do you think are the most successful?Would you be surprised to learn that the ways most people use to find their jobs are actually the least effective? The reason is because they are relying on the old standards: classified ads, job fairs and mailing resumes to employers. While those methods typically result in 5-7% of job candidates finding work, for the rest of the population, something else is going to be required.In order to find a good job, you have to put forth eff

Identify the talents and skills you enjoy using. Your ability to make a difference in the service of others will be evident when you do what you love and do best. Analyze past accomplishments to identify skills you enjoy using. What work would you be doing if money were not a concern?Recognize societal needs that you want to fill or problems you want to solve.

These things that seem like minor details entail benefits for a relative that would not be available to another employee. Who owns the pickup truck? The company or the family? If it belongs to the company, it must be strictly used for the company’s goals. Telling this to a son may be hard, but it is the way to avoid future predicaments.
Something to consider regarding salary is what we mentioned before: the company should pay the family member the same that any other person would earn for the exact same job, neither more nor less.
Many family businesses pay more, because “the child cannot live with this”, or pay less because “this will all be yours in the future”.
Both scenarios represent an inequality and a source of conflict.
The first one because it means the only way for the owner’s son or daughter to increase their salary is to have more children of their own. And the second one because today’s profit is being unjustly differed to the future.
So, the most appropriate thing to do would be to set salary levels according to the job performed. The same salary another person would earn. This means the company should have, and this is not usually the case, its salary structure clearly defined and should know how much each position earns, instead of thinking how much a relative should earn.
