My recomendation is that it is just best to charge them a flat monthly rental fee. There are issues with having them as employees or charging a percentage.

As employees, under WA Labor laws, you will need to pay them for the time they are required to be there. This may include time for no-shows and doing paper work. You will also need to keep in mind that you then accept the risk and time for collecting. By this I mean you pay the LMP no mater if you get paid or not, or how much you get paid.

If charging them a percentage, this may get into a kick-back issue and get you in trouble. Als, if the LMP is only sees a couple of clients, they only pay you that, and there may be little incentive in buliding a practice.

With a flat monthly rate - you avoid the employee issues and kick-back issues. The LMP pays you - even if they see no clients. And you get paid each month - no waiting for insurance to pay.

I highly recomend a contract with a yearly rent increase written into it. Make sure you check with an attorney on the contract - John
