[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]It sounds like your idea of timing is a good middle ground -- going from 13 hours to 9 -- if she is unhappy with the hours change, could you afford to bump her salary slightly so the drop in pay isn't as dramatic?[/b] [/quote]

We did tell her in the beginning that the long hours would be temporary because the kids would shortly be in school full time. What I hadn't factored in was the fact that I would need her in the mornings. We've tried but its tough getting everyone fed, watered, looking vaguely presentable and out the door by 7:15. 
So to answer your question I probably will not increase her salary. [/quote]

I too thought you might consider some adjustment in her base pay - losing 20 hours a week of overtime is a big difference and you might want to soften it up? Only you know all facts and circumstances.

I am this pp - thinking too commuting for a 90 minute shift is not very attractive either. And the 4 hours in between are shorter if she has to drive from your job to another and back. All the more reason I would think some compromise on rate would be a good thing. If you are cutting her back say $400 a week (20 hours at $20 OT rate), somehow adding $100 of this to her pay, and you saving the $300, seems to make sense? You leave it open for her to say she cannot do the morning then, and having her pick up another morning gig instead?[/quote]
