[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have talked to them and yet they are not changing their behavior. Either you accept it or you move to another family.

Good luck !

This. There's no magic here.

You could try one last email/conversation where you say, "Since we haven't found a system that works well for all of us, going forward, I will come in when I see that you are scheduled on the calendar, or if you let me know via email. I will base my work week on what I know via the calendar or email by [whatever you do: Friday the week before, one week ahead, a month ahead]. If you need me on days that aren't on the calendar or pre-assigned via email, I will do my best to accommodate you, but I may not be available. Also, per our contract, I expect to be paid for my guaranteed hours of X hours/week. So it would be great if we could make this work, and then you won't be paying for hours I don't work. I'm not trying to make anything difficult for you, but the current situation is not working for me, and I'd like to give it one more try before moving on."

Then take a picture of the calendar on the day you check it, so they can't say they had the day scheduled and you didn't see it, when in reality they went in later to fill it in.[/quote]

Op here, I like this. I do take pictures of the calendar when this happens. In the past, I called out because I wasn’t feeling well and the other parent started texting me. I informed her that 1. I’m sick (so we can go back and forth another day) and 2. I contacted the family on the schedule. I had already took a screenshot of the calendar, checked it later, and she had put her time on there. I told her that when I checked (and took a photo), you were not on the calendar. She says “oh, I meant to update it” okay well you need to do better considering this isn’t the first time. I am working on a final email for moving forward.

Thank you for helping me and being positive. [/quote]
