[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I negotiate for a weekly salary, and any hours beyond what we contract are paid at OT rates. There is always a breakdown in the contract for what the base and OT rate is, but the contract explicitly states that I am paid $X every week that I work, am available to work but the family is away and weeks that I take vacation/PTO. I've never had a single employer quibble about my rates because I ask what my competition wants during the final discussion, and I make sure that I'm the most qualified and then lower the rate for the second-most qualified by $0.25-0.50/hour.[/quote] Would you share your hourly rate? Do you ask for annual raises?[/quote] I'm a live-in. I always ask what they think the position is worth, then what the top contenders are quoting. As I said, I make sure my quote is just a hair lower, and that combined with my flexibility gets me the positions I want.[/quote]
