after reading all the other posts..

the local Flight School pays a "base rate" on the hours spent at the
"office/airport/school" doing company business. Then plusses up the pay
based on flight hours.. with "graduations" in pay based on number of hours
flown. Base rate is determined by level of CFI, CFII, CFII-ME etc.. and the
plussed up rate is also based on the instructors qualifications..

encourages instructors to
1) "man the phones",
2) "support the front desk",
3) "be available for that walk-in demo ride or visitor who wants to fly the
area but needs a checkout or just a safety instructor.
4) get qualified on the schools fuel truck (they only refuel school
aircraft) their "turn on the truck" is covered with their "base pay"
5) move up in their instructor qualifications

Most instructors at this school are graduates of Embry Riddle or University
of North Dakota (they come south to escape the 4yrs up north) and are only
around about 12-18months before moving on to other career advancing
employment.

If the place where I work is telling me to work hour's for free, what
should I do ?

I am worried that working for free is illegal, immoral, unethical, and
unprofessional, and I am also worried that it exposes me to the
possibility
of an IRS audit as I could be accused of getting paid "under the table"
(tax evasion etc.).

I appreciate any replie's.
