[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. We are saying it’s a cultural exchange program with an educational dimension which compensates au pairs’ time more fairly at a minimum wage and without arbitrary 40% deductions. It is not comparable to a live in nanny nor a seasonal worker program (which should also be fairly compensated). If you don’t agree with that, and think it’s fair to compensate at $4.35/hr regardless how nice of a host family you might be, perhaps no type of live in care is acceptable to you. As luck would have it, the bill sponsored by Kamala Harris and other such legislation is still pending in most places, so no immediate legislative enforcement in DMV. But there is a moral imperative to voluntarily internalize the issues and meet the spirit of the program accordingly. [/quote] If you ask APs which they want, higher pay or to feel (and be treated) like part of the family, they invariably fall into the latter category. Enforce the legislation as is.[/quote]
