Any existing agents out there for Farmers? Are agents 1099 or W2? Do agents get PTO, sick days and holidays? If you sold an auto or home policy and you are 100% commissions, when do you get paid? Is the commission paid out monthly or prepaid for the entire year? When are the bonuses paid out? Thank you in advance.

Yup, there are lots of Farmers agents out there.
Farmers agents are independent contractors, which means you have lots of freedom.
As an independent contractor, you won't get traditional benefits like paid time off or sick days, but you get to make your own schedule.
You'll typically get commission payments on a monthly basis for auto and home policies, and bonuses are usually paid out once a year.
Hope that helps! Let me know if you want more info.

Thank you for the response. So if I sold an auto policy of $2500 annually, what is my commission? How is the commission different if I sold auto vs property? If I sold these products today as a 100% commission agent, when do I get paid, the following week the premium is paid or the following month? Are agents W2 or 1099?

I was shown a contract for 100% commissions that I felt was vague. I was told you have to sell $10k in premiums a month and 1 life insurance policy per month. The commission schedule showed a commission $0 under commission but under >$30k your bonus & commissions is $8,025. So it showed bonus as 100%. I feel like something is not adding up. 😂 So I must sell a minimum of $10k a month, but I don’t get a bonus unless I sell minimum of $30k? I felt like the $8,025 was a way to get me enticed.

Farmers agents are 1099 independent contractors, not W2 employees, so they are responsible for paying their own taxes. The agent's commission is paid monthly, and bonuses are paid out annually based on performance. PTO, sick days, and holidays are not provided as they are not employees.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?

Wondering what the usual tax bracket is of people retired (around 65yo) as I’m not sure anything would bring in significant income with the exception of investments. In my case would a Roth make sense? Appreciate any answers!!
