My husband owns a General Partnership, they are Inependent contractors,what is the best way of paying partners My husband has just started a General Partnership.It is a Timber falling business.The partners are Independent Contractors. We want each of them to get paid for what they earn. Example:Contract is $295.00 a day for a 6 hr day of cutting timber. So if one partner puts in 10 days and the other partner puts in 9 days for one pay period, that is a check to our company for $5605.00. So, how we would want it to go is that the partner that put in 10 days gets $2950.00 before witholdings and the partner that put in 9 days gets $2655.00 before witholdings. The partnership ownership is 50% for each of the partners. Does this mean that out of each check recieved for the business we have to split it 50% to each partner, even if one partner didnt work during that pay period? Or can we do it like we would like explained above?
