Their employer? If they spend their time while the student is on the nav doing paperwork, or even a quick session of circuits with another student, do they get paid double?
The business owner is responsible for paying their employees. The business owner sets the rates that they charge customers. The customer gets to make the judgement as to whether the rate is fair value.
The only link between what the customer pays and what the employee gets paid is that - overall - customers need to pay enough to cover employee wages, other overheads and hopefully make a profit.
