[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Overall I like my employers but issues keep coming up that are becoming a problem.

1. They don't respect my time. Multiple times MB has been upwards of 1 hour late. I've had to miss class and other obligations. I am flexible with my schedule to an extent but this is occurring 2-3 times a week.

2. Not being relieved on time. My charge is a little difficult to put down but too young for sleep training. DB will come him while I'm putting my charge to bed. Instead of relieving me when it's 6:30pm, I will be there sometimes until 7:30 putting him down. When I come downstairs he is watching tv or playing a video game. Half of these times have been unpaid for staying late. This has happened at least 4 times.

3. Twice MB canceled on me so I was not paid for those days even though I'm guaranteed pay in my contract.

There a few minor things but these are the main issues. I've been there 3 months. MB has been late at least 7 times. She feels as long as I'm getting paid. I've had several talks explaining that I can't continuously stay late without notice. I also can't have them cancel and me not be paid.

Don't they run a time sheet, when you show up and when you leave.?  It should be obvious then and wages paid accordingly. Just keep it professional, demand that start. 
ALso, did they say upfront "be available from 8 until 8 and most days you will leave at 5 or 6?"  Or something else?  Many families set expectations (i.e. guarantee till 4pm, sometimes arrive at 5 or 6pm) but record it daily. Unless you are paid a fixed amount per day, then win some, lose some. [/quote]

My hours are M-TH, 7:30-6:30. There are times MB has dismissed me early so that is why guaranteed hours were put into place. Anything over 40 hours is OT. Our contract states there may be additional nights but that would be given a 3 day notice.  We have not find a time sheet because hours were supoose to be typical. That hasn't been the case though. Even if MB lets me go at 6. I'm paid for 7:30-6, not the full hour like guaranteed. I've brought this up but MB said they will fix it but never do. [/quote]
