BIG NEWS - we've actually structured our work!!!

We have come up with a new commission structure using two queues a commission queue and a waiting queue, it will work as the following

We will now be opening 5 slots at a time at a selective point of the year.
Those not picked or have expressed interest between openings will be put on a waiting queue and will get early notification of our opening or of any cancellations.
Each commission will be given a 2 month work slot, (might seem like a long time but we both work full time) we will ask for the deposit 1 month before work is to begin which must be paid within 2 weeks of the request. (this give us two weeks to request the deposit of the next person in the commission queue if you fail to pay)
If you cannot pay, or do not pay, your slot will be offered to the next person in the commission queue and you will be placed at the end of the waiting queue.
