Agate Therapy Group is an Anti Fee Splitting Company

Not familiar with the term? Fee Splitting is when a company hires you as a independent contractor, keeps all your payment for your services, and gives you a portion back. Companies market it as fair, often keeping as much as 65% of your pay and giving you the measly 35%+ for compensation. It’s a way to take advantage of an independent contractor when there is fear of failure and a feeling of isolation. Sadly, even though it has been an illegal practice in the state of Washington since 2014, it is not monitored and is still the most common way groups are run. To be legal, companies must hire you as an employee with a W2, or you must hire them as your independent contractor. You lose control of of your business and get scammed in the process otherwise. This goes for all sorts of professions, like hair stylists and registered nurses.
