Indiana- I was a massage therapist at a casino, but not employed at the casino only badged as a vendor. Our boss is a pro poker player who started this "company" where he hired us girls, charged us from $15 to $25/hr to massage poker players, and we charged $2/min and kept the rest. So I worked 6 hrs, the money would be taken right out of my bank account, usually $150. So after about 15 months of this, the business went WAY down and most girls were not even making his "rent" and the money just kept coming out of our banks. I know we signed contracts, but after approaching him a couple of times and trying to think of new ways to get people in the poker room interested in massage again, I suggested that he, at least temporarily lower rent, and she shot it all down so I quit. All sounds legal, just horrible. Of course there is SO much more to this story, but yeah, he sucks and I just think it SHOULD be illegal to charge someone more than they make. No minimum wage, no pay at all, just what we made ourselves. Another thing I don't really understand, if we were technically "self employed" and "vendors" what right does he have to charge us anything?
