Lanelle is on a distinguished road
Let's start by defining the job that you want done. Is this person going to take your lead, meet with the client, draw up the design, estimate it, make a proposal and sell the job? If so, then their sales should be rewarded with some type of commission plan. If this person takes your information and turns it into a design and hands it back to you to price and sell, then they are more of a tradesperson who gets paid according to the time that they spend working on the design. If you hire someone to work full time for you, then some type of salary/commission plan can work nicely for both of you. You can hand off things to be designed for existing clients as well as leads for new clients. Other designers prefer to freelance and will often have a fee structure in mind. So I hope that helps to get this topic rolling.
