Perpetrators of illegal things (illegal workers) should not get free passes just to snitch on others. |
You should have offered more salary. |
Your "victim" is evading taxes. Thus also a criminal. It takes two. |
OK, that is just dumb and will never happen. I wish nanny's would organize. |
$18 per hour seemed sufficient in a city with a lower COL than DC. Sometimes it is not the employer's fault. |
+ 1,000,000. You had a hard time finding a legal nanny because you were paying and "illegal" rate. Absolutely no other reason. |
A lot of "out of status" nannies get paid very well -- especially since they don't have to withhold tax. A good friend pays her the same as I pay mine -- $19/hour -- but hers doesn't have to withhold tax so it ends up a lot more. Anyway, it's not fair to the nannies who have to take out taxes -- but why is everyone talking about the "criminal employers"? I get that some are being taken advantage of -- but most that I've heard of around here (NW DC) get paid more than fairly. |
I pay $10 an hour on the books (in a city way less expensive than DC). I had plenty of applicants. |
Bet you feel really great offering pennies more than minimum wage. |
Did you see my previous post? We offered $18 an hour, on the books. |
Offer more. What aren't you understanding? |
Sigh. This is why I really dislike this forum. |
If she was used to earning 20 or 25 on the books, you'd be out of luck. |
How smart, you send them to prision and all the expenses will come from your packet later. |
Because the employers of off-the-books nannies are breaking the law - thus making them criminal employers. The nannies are criminals too but this thread is about the employers. |
