Excellent guess on the tax implications. Some more comments from me here.

There is a huge issue that no one else has brought up. If the boss is inconsistent with pay, he could end up with a huge law suit on his hands. For example, say he hires his friend and offers a starting salary of $40,000. His friend happens to be a white male. He then hires another candidate at the regular entry level salary of $30,000, and she happens to be a black female. This could easily be seen as discrimination.

I guess this is his problem, but as an HR professional, there has to be some sort of process in place in terms of compensation.

“the owner would expense his alcohol purchases”

Is that legal?
——————-
In the terms represented, no way. Now, if it were booze purchased over a client dinner or as a team happy hour, fine. But putting your personal liquor store runs (or anything else that’s not strictly related to the business) on the company card is a huge no-no, esp if you’re crazy enough to try to deduct it…

I’m still trying to deconstruct how much booze $300 a week would buy, and if I could survive ONE such week!

This is the norm for privately run organizations. People like to take care of their friends and family.

This is a catch 22 situation.. As an HR professional it becomes hard to break the process and hire a Bosses or owners Friend/ family member who doesnt have the requisite skill set. But then end of the day HR manager also has a family to run and his job is on the mercy of his BOss/ Owner.

I would advise not to advise either the owner or his son on this matter and move on with the job. If possibel try and find employment in an organization which has strong systems, processes and value system in place.
