[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been at my position for over a year.  I make above average, and one of many factors in giving my rate to take the position was bc I only work 30 hours.  Now they want to possibly increase my hours to 40 or even 50, but want me to take an hourly cut to do so.  Benefits are good and I am overall happy at this position.  I was surprised by this idea and am running some numbers, but wanted others to chime in.  My first instinct is hell no, but I also understand that positions not offering full time offer a higher pay.  Thoughts?[/quote]

I think it depends on the pay cut.  My instinct is to say no, don't take any pay cut but on the other hand if you are still going to be making significantly more overall (and getting OT for the hours over 40) AND you like the family and would enjoy staying with them then I'd consider it.  It also depends on how good your rate will still be after the pay cut.  If you look for another job would you be able to get a higher rate or is the new rate they are offering still a good rate?

I understand the principle behind not wanting to take a pay cut, it seems ridiculous but also don't shoot yourself in the foot if it's still a good offer with a family you otherwise like.[/quote]
