[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]so I offered her $18 an hour (and taxes will be deducted).  We are in Loudon.  She says that if this does not work out to $15 per hour (for take home) after the first pay check she will want a raise and back pay.  This puts us in a tough spot since the accountant can't know until she fills out the forms.  I just want to offer her pay and be done with it.  If someone else is offering her $15 per hr under the table then so be it.

There are benefits to her to be paid legally as well.  I don't want to lose a good nanny, but the job is the job and the pay is the pay.  Why isn't she just asking for more money per hr?  [/quote]

I wouldn't tolerate that OP.  I would take this kind of response as an early warning sign and my response would be "I really don't think this will work then.  Good luck to you."

If a candidate for a job is talking with you this I would fully expect you to have significant troubles down the line.  Go find someone else for whom $18/hr, paid legally, is viewed as a great job.[/quote]

18:34 here.  I don't understand how you wouldn't know.  I fill out paperwork my first day (or before); I'm not going to wait to know what the take home is.  As I said, my contracts all state gross and net, that way there's no confusion.[/quote]

Crud, posted too early.  With that said, $18/hour is good, she can choose to take it or not, ask for the calculation now of net based on the gross you offered or not.  Frankly, it seems like you might want to cut your losses and find someone else.[/quote]
