[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If paying minimum wage is too expensive for some families, why not reduce the hours? The au pairs also want to take classes while they are here, which must be difficult with their work schedules. And it seems very harsh to only have one full weekend off per month. [/quote] It’s a maximum of 45 hours per week. 1.5 consecutive days off per week, at least one full weekend per month. In practice, most families keep a basic schedule that doesn’t vary much. The families using any weekend hours are usually doing so to cover a short kids’ sport practice or game, not even half a day, and they’re also more likely to be using less than 25 hours during the workweek. Families using the full 45 hours are typically 9 hour days m-f or 10 hour days m-thurs and 5 hours on Friday. For those families, the AP has every weekend free.[/quote]
