[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay our usual hourly rate for all hours. Everyone I know does the same. I mean, if the babysitter can’t leave - she’s working. [/quote] But from 8-4 the next day she isn't with the kids nor does she need to be in their house. She can do whatever she wants at her own house or locally with the exception of drugs, alcohol, or child care for someone else. She certainly should be compensated for being available, but i don't think it should be at the same rate as when the kids are with her or she has to be in their house such as overnight. [/quote] If she has to be on call in case of an emergency and therefore can’t watch someone’s kids - or work at all really during that time - then yes she needs to be compensated as usual. Otherwise it’s not fair to strip her of availability to other jobs and shortchange her while doing so. [/quote]
