I've been dragging my feet on filing form 1 for my latest SBR build. When I heard about this I was afraid that the Efile system would be useless, but I just got it done. Probably no more NFA for me for a while.

Here's a $10,000 day at the air field.

I'd say it cost about $1,000, 200 hours of an old man's time and some newbie's RC club membership.

That's another thing about working for yourself. When something doesn't go right, it's all you. If you fail, it's all you. There's no one else to blame and that can be a tough pill to swallow. Although, that doesn't stop people from blaming the economy, the employees, the customer base and...

I worked for my dad for years, been out on my own a couple times before finally becoming successful independent of him. Went out at 22 and ended up falling flat on my face. I did well financially, but after about 5 years and a few stupid mistakes I was burned out and broke. Went back to work for...

Which she will only do until something better comes along, then she will leave her family in the lurch faster than you can bat an eye. I've seen these situations before. The kid you hire making $8hr. has more potential to one day take over operations than most family members will. If you look...

Which brings up another point. I pay people to do all the work around here. I just show up and make sure everyone is doing what they're supposed to be doing, peruse SET and order shit from Amazon. What do you guys do for a living where someone pays you to be on here all day?

Yep, I'm the cheapest in the industry and there are certain things I just can't do if I want to remain that way. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it. Most people like the idea of controlling their own fate, but when faced with the prospect that no one is going to write them a check if...

Working with family, for family, or having family working for you makes things exponentially more difficult. Generally you have more people expecting bigger pieces of the pie. Go to Brusters and tell me how much those kids are getting paid. There's a reason for that. A family member is going to...

"Benefits" is one thing you ain't getting from me. Just like my grandaddy always said, the benefit I offer is that you basically set your own salary, make a lot of money and pay for your own damn health insurance. Hell nowadays you don't even have to worry about that since Obama is gonna pay for...

It's heavily incentive based. The location manager gets the lion's share of the bonuses. He makes a salary of $600 week, but grossed $85,000 this past year. The assistant makes a little less salary and generally will make about $40,000-$50,000. The ultimate goal is for a good assistant manager...

Big governement "Here to solve your problems before we even create them"

I have an automotive production paint shop.

Apparently it's been in the works, but is slated to become official very soon. http://www.ajc.com/news/business/new-overtime-rules-affect-thousands-in-georgia/nmzQK/

We changed our policy on paying salary after(my previous post). My assistant manager position is currently open and that would be the only person in my organization who might be affected by this. So currently, I don't have to worry about it. But more than likely when I do fill my assistant...

Florida has already had something like this on the books for a while. We had an assistant manager down in Tallahassee a few years ago who was "working" after hours and on weekends. Turns out, he was working off the books and pocketing cash. When he was terminated, he sued us for overtime. The...

No, this is a requirement set forth by the DOL. I've been down the do my own payroll route. For what it costs to hire a firm, never again. And yes, all salaried employees under or near the $970 week threshold will likely be moving to hourly pay. I see a lot of "I'm sorry, the government says...

No, I used ADP for a minute. They were terrible to deal with. I use Paycor now.

I just got a notice from my payroll company that the DOL has now decided that salaried employees making under $50,440 per year are eligible for overtime pay on hours over 40 per week. So basically, they just set a $24.25 minimum wage for salaried employees and put the burden to track salaried...

It's about time they put a stop to all you loonies running around murdering folks silently with your short barrels... This is such horseshit. I do want to SBR one more lower. I guess I'd better get it done. uggghh.
