[quote=Anonymous]I have been with my NF for two years.  Next September my youngest charge will be in Kindergarten full time.

Right now, I am paid hourly.  I currently make 17/hr for 3 charges.  Two are in school full time and the youngest is currently in preschool three days a week.  I am paid while the kids are in school since I am their emergency contact and I have to be on call in case the kids get sick, etc.  This makes it incredibly difficult to take another part time job to fill in the time while the kids are in school, but since I am paid for it, it's not a big deal.

This morning, I was told that that come September, my MB and DB want to change me to salary (and change my contract).  It would be $700 for the 30 hours I am with the kids, but I will still have to be on call in case of emergencies and still take care of the kids when they are sick (which means I won't be able to get another part time position to make up for the loss of pay, unless I can somehow make it work wit another NF).  Moving to salary would be a huge cut in my pay.

I know this seems pretty straight forward (just get another position for September that pays my rate), but my current NF has already given me the green light for a vacation next October and I'm not sure how a new NF would appreciate me taking a 10 day vacation right after I start.  It would definitely be something that would have to be discussed during interviews.

Has anyone else had to deal with having this happen?  Any advice?  [/quote]
