[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here, okay here is the thing I work afternoon 1 to 6 to another family. The new employer wants me to work 8 to 12.
She wants household tasks like cooking laundry etc...
I know I can do all those tasks in two hours like 8 to 10 so then I want to go. But if she pay me hourly I have stay or I have to do all tasks slowly.
I think salary is better option for me. Since I do all tasks so quickly.[/quote]

OP, I think you're misunderstanding what it means to be salaried. You still work the hours required in your employment agreement; you just don't do timekeeping in the same way (and at some employers, you track time hourly anyway!)

If your employer wants you there from 8 to 12 daily, it doesn't matter if you're paid hourly or weekly; you still need to work those hours to get paid. If you only want to be there for half the time, they will pay you half the rate.

You could try asking to be paid based on tasks vs. based on time, but that's a slippery slope. It's great for tasks that take less time than your employer anticipated, but it can come back to bite you when there are tasks that take more time than expected. And I'm not at all sure how that works with the law around household employees.

Just tell the employer you can work from 8 to 10 for a little more per hour given your efficiency and see whether they are interested. [/quote]
