[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, divide your weekly gross pay by the 55 hours per week that you currently work.  That will give you your current effective hourly rate, which will be higher than your base rate due to OT after forty hours.  Use your current effective hourly rate as your hourly rate for an 18 hour schedule.[/quote]

I think that is bad advice. If the family wants to keep OP on for very short PT hours each, that would also probably prevent her from gaining other PT work to fill out her schedule, then they need to up the pay just a little bit. I think it is a different story if she was working longer hours, but she is working 5 days a week (?) for only 3.5 hours each. As soon as you are working 4-5 hours or less, then the hourly rate normally goes up a bit. I would suggest $17/hr at least.

OP, you need to look at your finances and see how many hours you will need to be working at the very minimum you can afford to do it for. Then you have to see if you could even make the PT position with them keep working, or if you need to find a different FT position instead. It might be better/easier to just get a FT job and let them find someone else for the PT hours. They shouldn't have a hard time doing that, even for the rate they are currently paying you. It just might not be the type of thing that you can do if you need FT hours though.[/quote]
