Everytime I hire a new worker I let them know that I do not want any boyfriends or girlfriends hanging out to chat. The problem is I have a worker who's mother always hangs out at the salon when she works. I even had some customers tell me she is always around. I was just wondering if anybody had the same problem and what you did about it or what would you do if you were in that situation.

Hire the mother............

Have a nice talk with the girl and let her ask her mother to stay home.

Just have to give them a little chat and explain to the mother if you need to

I have the same problem with my father.... I'm starting to let hanging out slide a little bit on account of it being good for buisness. I'm here so I can say enough is enough get to work.

I think you should do a spot check. Don't go in, but if you detect here mother there give some task she wouldn't normally have to do like cleaning something. Then you have an idea of what time the mother is there. Call around that time everytime she works and have do something to earn her keep.

treat the mother hanging out the same way as a boyfriend/girlfriend.... I don't specify when i hire someone... we say that you can not have any friends or family members visiting you at the salon while you are working... that is a good way to put it. I would probably just talk to the girl and let her know that she needs to ask her mom to chat less

I have had some kids that hung around that I encouraged to stay.

If I have young girls closing at night, I feel that it is safer to have an extra person there.

Also, some actually help the worker clean and vacuum. I may give them a free session occasionally.

If it gets out of hand with people visiting and not getting the work done, that is different.

This is a problem I have had, boyfriend at the controls , friends & family hanging out so this is how I have stopped it .

At the time of hire they must sign the " Aloha Tan Policies "

The first one says that there is " a 5 minute friend & family rule and no one is to hang out at the salon...this is cause for atomatic write up and or dismissal".

Secondly my regulars have my cell phone # and I personaly do regular checks , plus I send in a few customers at random.
