[quote=Anonymous]Hi! I work for a pretty decent family, but as of late, the mom has been changing my hours last minute and often times cutting my hours (last minute) so I end up not getting paid even though I was schedule for 9-5 (end up working 9-1). I've talked with her and asked her, if you will not need me please let me know at least a week in advance so I can let the agency that I work with know so I can try to work more hours else where.. Well, she went from letting me know the night before to 2-3 days before which isn't enough time.  I'm expecting to work my full 25 hours per week, it's been looking more like 20 hours per week and in my contract I listed that I must work a minimum of 20 hours per week. I never expected she'd start cutting hours because she wants to have lunch with her friend and take the kids with her or she wants to take them to the park instead of me so the last 2 hours of the day I am not needed (these are her excuses)  I do not call off from work and have been very flexible and I believe we have a good working relationship so I am not sure where this is coming from. Basically, yesterday, she said she'd only need me from 9-1 friday and if I wanted the remainder 4 hours I can come to work on a day that I am typically off or use these hours towards when I babysit for them next Saturday. The point of me babysitting next Saturday was for extra $, not to be making up $ to equal my normal check. I told her id let her know if I'll work on my off day or just take the lost because she won't pay me if she doesn't  need me. As I said, I've talked with her about this and i don't know what to say anymore without sounding unprofessional. I nanny as a job, I pay my bills with my check, it's upsetting that I am starting to not have a guaranteed set hours to work anymore. Advice PLEASE [/quote]
