Great family- often forgets to pay

Does anyone have a stock script to use to remind folks to pay. A ‘where is my money’ seems to crass, but a ‘I was wondering if you noticed you didn’t pay’ makes me feel like an 8yo asking for allowance.

No one forgets to pay. They don't have the money. I would tell them if it happens again that I will quit with reason.

Do not leave until you're paid. Stand there and wait. This is not ok. (I'm a MB, not a nanny).

That’s not true. We’ve forgotten before and were mortified and then set up a payment reminder. It would’ve been easier to have an autopay set up but bank accounts didn’t allow for that. Has nothing to do with not being able to afford it.

Know this is an old post but DH has forgotten a few times. I was really angry with him. It's just not acceptable.
Our nanny had to text him to remind him which is really degrading. I've told him if it happens again, we can expect to lose her.

For all those busy people who forget to pay their employees, what if it was your company that regularly forgot to pay you? It gets humiliating have to ask for your money every time they forget.

If you use Venmo you can request payment through the app

I'm putting in a wage claim now... families who "forget" to pay repeatedly have money problems, and no matter how "nice," they're not "great."

They are not a great family if they forget to pay

Hey! If your employer forgets to submit payroll for you to get paid for that pay period, but offers to pay you via Zelle/venmo/check. Are you expecting them to pay you your Netpay (your take home pay- taxes taken out) or gross pay? (All of it.. no taxes taken out)

If I were to continue helping that family, I would insist that they pay me in advance on a weekly basis. They would have to pay me every Monday - for the week.

This. You need to set an alarm on their phones so they process your pay.
