SpaBiz software offers the full suite of spa management as well as online booking options.

your employer is running a huge risk without such a system.  I can't think of a state that does not require an employer to keep detailed time records of every employee to ensure they are complying with minimum wage and reporting standards.

I am paid via personal checks also by the service every week. not sure if I really like that

Personal check is weird....how are they showing you the taxes deducted/withheld?

I use gettimely.com.  You can add as many services and staff members as you want.

i havent heard of gettimely.com does that cost anything? I might check it out. 

Yes, I am paying $15 a month, but it will probably be somewhere around $25 a month.

I like it because although people need to enter their phone number in but they don't have to sign up for an account before making an appointment.

Some type of online scheduling or just appointment management software for the business to use would be really helpful. You can find free or affordable programs and compare their features to find what you need. Most services offer free trials to see if the program is what you need for your business. If you wanted to go free and super simple, you could have a shared google calendar that everyone can access.

It would also be good for you as an employee to have some type of proof of the services you provided to assure you're getting paid the correct amount. Not to discourage you or accuse the owner of being shady at all - just esty to esty - a pencil and paper are pretty easy for someone to toss if they had to suddenly close or let people go. Even if you use the calendar on your phone or google calendar, keep records for yourself. 

By law, employers are required to keep time records of all employees for up to 3 years -- depending on the state.

In CA, for instance, employers that cannot provide documentation to defend against a wage claim are fined $100 per day for up to 30 days -- a fine paid directly to the affected employee -- for any overdue, undocumented wages.
