[quote=Anonymous]Okay...So if a family asks me to watch their child from say 8AM-5PM and they ask me two weeks in advance and I say I will do it, then the day of as they are leaving the house, they inform me that there has been a [i]slight[/i] change in times and that the children's grandmother will be visiting so instead of getting off at 5PM that day, I will be getting off at 2PM. Then they make it sound like it's a good thing by saying, "Oh...You will have more time to enjoy your afternoon!"

Yet when they pay you, they only pay you until 2PM, yet you were expecting for the last two weeks to make enough money for the extra three hours they canceled on.

Ethically, shouldn't they pay you the full amount?? Isn't not paying you sort of like when a family cancels on you last minute w/out compensating you?

After all, I wouldn't agree to work from 8-5, then arrive that morning and tell them I can only stay until 2 that afternoon.

Why should they be able to? Isn't respect a two-way street?[/quote]
