College henna is getting messy...

Posted by Rosie on October 25, 1999 at 21:59:15:

So I went a little overboard. I did a floor program for a Residence
Assistant and about 15-20 students. I stayed an extra hour when I told
them they hadn't contracted me for long enough, PLUS I did a mini-
presentation on the spot. I only got 15 dollars more than my $35/hr
flat rate, which includes all the henna I can possibly do in one hour.
I can't seem to get paid for another appointment I did. The school
said because I did work-study (which has less than diddly-squat to do
with my henna business), I have to get paid through the school's
payroll. They also said that it would not be possible to give me a
deposit (which of course, I need to cover making the henna ahead of
time.)I did the appointment last Thursday and my contract states that
I am to be paid by the end of the appointment. I haven't seen the
check.
I admit that I am in over my head. I've got R.A.'s calling to make
henna appointments left and right. The R.A.'s seem to want a small
presentation plus the henna. How do I charge for this and how can I
adjust my contract to make sure that I get paid for what I do?

Clogged with air bubbles,
