I
don't know a lot about this type of arrangement. So by this do you mean that you
pay them even when they don't need to come in for a tour? It seems like it
might be easier to pay someone as an hourly employee in this case. If they can't
come in, they don't get paid. The question about what to do if there is no tour
scheduled it a little vaguer... I'm not an HR whiz, though, so this is just my
gut reaction.

Hello
Listers...
Does
anyone out their manage or know of an institution that hires people on a
contractual basis meaning that:
A contractor is hired and paid for their
AVAILABILITY(i.e. every tuesday for 30 weeks to give a group a tour) and they
get paid regardless of whether or not a group has signed up?
What do you
do if that person has a personal emergency (they're sick, family emergency,
etc.) since you hired them under with the understanding that they will be paid
regardless of whether they 'teach' a group on their 'day'? How do you
make it clear that if they have an emergency on a given day THEY WILL NOT GET
PAID because they 'broke' the contract in a way, because of the (hopefully)
one time emergency?
