(maybe) a quick question:
The city is opening up 4 pools for "One on one training". This means people book a time slot online and then you bring your trainer/coach with you. The city website states "Trainers must be professional, certified, paid and provide active instruction. Trainers may be asked for valid certification; failure to produce may result in no access."
Because I haven't yet been recalled (I'm low on the seniority list, but will likely get called back when they open more pools/extend swimming times)I'm on the EI gravy train. Some people have approached me to see if I would be their "Trainer". Some people just want a babysitter while they swim and others have asked for their younger kids. I'm finding myself not wanting to do COVID projects... I would rather work
So I guess 2 questions: a)If I take payment (say $20/hour) what do I do for taxes, claiming EI? Just keep track of the income? Or being technically self-employed I have to file for anything? Which leads to b)do I need to get liability insurance or anything else?
Tempted to just say I'll do it for a cheap case of beer and just do it casual... but would there be anything that could get me in trouble even doing that? It seems like it might be a hassle to even offer doing this.
Any help would be appreciated!
