1. This is an issue between Employer and Employee,
Not Employer and Client. The Employer should
not have to say anything to the Client.
2. If a Client is trying to get the Employee to
do A/V work on the side, than that's a little
bit obnoxious. But if it's to help with non A/V
work I think it's usually pretty harmless.
My beef is that the customer is conspiring with the technician to steal money from me. The customer makes an offer of doing some "work on the side" in the hopes he will get a discount. The customer is not wondering if the parts that are being used on the "side job" have been paid for by the tech or whether he is just taking stock out of the truck. Who does the customer think paid for all the parts that are in the truck and the considerable expenses of bringing a truck to his house? All he is interested in is he is getting it done cheaper than if he had to pay my company for the work.
Any customer who approaches my techs to do side work are dirt bags and I let them know it because when you think about it, they aren't the type of customers that you want anyway. These people often can afford to pay they just want to get it done cheaper and in the process they are stealing money from me.
