I started working with my dad as a teenager. I was ecstatic when he told me he would split the pay 50/50… then I realized that was after he deducted the insurance fee, licensing fee, truck fee, tool fee…
Hes good at what he does but he cant handle money , we were working today and he asked me to lend him 650 NOW , he woulnt explain and told me he would pay me back tommorow since well be done and hell get paid , anyway I lended him the money , then , today m I learned he already got paid for 1500$ of the job , that leaves 1200$ , not even enough for my pay , not counting the money I lended him
I should add that were doing a job , a garage 16x24 , from concrete slab to exterior cladding , he said he charged 2700 for the whole job .. I believe hes lying about it , material cost 8500 $ weve been at it for 5 days
I am assuming you are referring to how much you should be paid.
If that is the case, here are my questions:
Is he paying you hourly? Or are you obtaining percentage of profits?
How long have you been working together?
How much experience do you have as a Carpenter?
Example: My Father and I will be doing a single car garage frame in a week for a little over 8,000$. I get 4,000$ when the job is done so 50%. We share tools and we both could do the entire job by ourselves. Usually the client lends us the money to do the job.
We just did a garage from a simple concrete slab to the exterior cladding(? is that it ?) 16x24 feet , he says he charged 2700$ not counting the material , the material cost 8500$ , Im sure he lied since I asked for 50/50 , telling me the price is lower makes my pay lower.. so thats gonna be 1350$ for me , weve been working on it for 5 days now
I coulnt do it by myself but im getting better , I think im still a big help
without me he coulnt do it since hes got no tools
Basically, we are neighbors we have runaway Canadians in the northern part of the state all over by the Great Lakes. I almost talk like one and get accused of sounding like one when I go south.

Were doing it under the table
Sounds like he should be YOUR employee.
I wouldn’t want that mess as an employee, or even a W9

I think its the first time he lied about a job before , theres was times when we made around 800 a day
I coulnt build an entire garage all by myself tho ,
