[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I have guaranteed hours each week and last week after moving my days around three times, my employers decide to use a date night instead of one of my full 7 hour days. When I get there the dad thanks me for changing my schedule around for them and then says I will still get payed my full amount that week even though they probably wouldn't use all the hours. I think this is completely fair since I made myself available to them and was very flexible. Well Friday comes around and the mom hands me my full paycheck and then says they decided they wanted to save those three leftover hours and use them at a later date. I immediately told her I did not want them to start banking hours and that I would rather just have the 3 hours subtracted from my paycheck. I just didn't want to owe them anything. She seemed really annoyed and said she didn't feel like writing me a new check because they would have to re figure the taxes, then she said to just forget about it. Am I in the wrong here?

I'm an MB.  To me, "guaranteed weekly hours" means that if I have you schedule M-F 8am to 5pm and I get home at 4pm one day, I'm still paying you for that hour.  It doesn't mean to me that I can schedule you for 45 hours any time I like.  It would be lovely if you would be flexible once in a while, and say, provide babysitting in the evening instead on a day that I didn't need you to work. But I most certainly would not expect it.  I also wouldn't assume that I could bank hours week to week.

Was your agreement guaranteed weekly hours or just generally guaranteed hours or what?  I think it sounds like you definitely need to have a clarification discussion on what that means.[/quote]
