Separate the components
Ask which amount is fixed and which depends on attendance or other conditions. Establish whether quoted figures are gross or net. Tips are not the same as contractual bonuses, and neither should be treated as guaranteed income unless the actual agreement supports that conclusion.
Understand the calculation
If bonuses depend on drinks, request the counting rules and a way to review the figures. Check payment dates, the paying party and how discrepancies are raised. Knowing the formula matters more than seeing the highest amount someone says they earned on one evening.
Build a realistic budget
Include travel, food and any accommodation or transport costs that are not covered. Use reliable amounts when deciding whether the move is affordable. Ask SeleneHostess for the conditions of the specific opening: general articles cannot establish your pay or replace written terms.
