[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My employers give me the right of first refusal, which I absolutely appreciate, since I do sit on weekend evenings in general. They pay me in cash, which I suggested myself, since I really don’t need time and a half for a weekend care date in which I’ll see the kids awake for tops 2 hours or less. I’m aware this isn’t legal but not worried about it at all. [/quote]

It's not illegal for you; it's illegal for them. For you it is all upside if later on you decided you should have been paid right. Then you get penalty pay too![/quote]

Sorry, not all upside, I forgot that your unreported pay won't count for your social security income later, so the downside to taking payment under the table is that you get less back in your retirement years. Of course, it is also a risk to you if you aren't paying taxes on it.[/quote]

It's bad for the employee and the employer--I don't understand why people think labor laws don't apply to household workers.[/quote]

The entitled parents posting on DCUM do not believe the laws of mere mortals do not apply to their privileged lives.  I hope some nanny will report them, particularly the ones who refuse to pay overtime.[/quote]
