PRO: 90% commission for a one-time fee. CON: I’ve always been an entrepreneurial guy, and I joined Legato because I wanted to build and operate my own travel business. What I didn’t expect was to be called an “independent contractor” while being told that I’m ONLY allowed to book through Legato. That level of control seems completely inconsistent with what being an independent contractor is and raises serious worker-misclassification concerns. If I truly own and operate an independent business, I should be able to choose who I work with, including having multiple host agencies. You can’t call someone independent while controlling where they are allowed to conduct their business. I hope the appropriate authorities eventually take a closer look at what Legato is illegally doing here and put a stop to it. My wife has been with another travel company for 16+ years, and I’m regretting my decision to try something different when starting out myself. The whole goal was to eventually work alongside her while also building my own business, and now this contract is preventing me from doing that. I feel completely stuck in this arrangement. Very shady practices here.
