My dad used to have a farm manager for our distant cattle operation. He would pay a living salary plus housing. Then for bonus and perks, he would pay a very small percentage on the gross, but would give him everything over a 90% calf crop. 90% is a low expectation, I know, But it was good for the manager as he consistantly had 97-99% success rate. To get that you had to put forth a good effort and dad figured that was worth it. (thats for a 275 cow ranch) Plus it kept that same manager around till the end.
Because it ended, I'm in a similar but different situation now. I've been here for 17 years now and allthough I dont do books, I pretty much run the operation from the practical standpoint. I chose to not do the percentage thing because I dont do the books. If I have no access or control over that aspect, I choose to not participate in relying on it for wage. Instead I do straight salary, but my bonuses are in shop use for my own projects. In other words, the more efficiently I get something done, the more time I can spend in the shop on my own stuff.
Thats just my 2 cents.
