Family Business on Resume

I'll be starting law school this fall, from what I've read you want to have your resume for 1L summer jobs ready early on in the semester. I was going over mine and when I was applying to schools I put my "work" at my dad's business on there. It's a pretty small business (5 employees). I am there a lot and do mostly managerial work. I asked my dad and he told me to put assistant manager down. Should I keep this on my resume when I'm applying for real jobs. I do work but I'm not officially an employee or get paid.
