[quote=Anonymous]Press release is interesting: https://www.bsfllp.com/news-events/historic-655-million-settlement-earns-fair-wages-and-equitable-treatment-for-a-class-of-au-pairs.html “The vast majority of au pairs are paid the same rate of $4.35 per hour. The sponsor defendants allegedly conspired to illegally fix standard au pair wages at or near the $4.35 rate, lied about au pairs’ ability to negotiate a higher wage, and illegally set wages below the minimum wage. At the illegally-fixed rate, standard au pairs are paid about $9,980 per year. Sponsor agencies charge both au pairs and host families’ fees. One sponsor, for example, charged host families an $8,245 “Program Fee Annual” plus a $400 “Match Fee” — which means that the sponsor agencies are paid almost as much in fees as au pairs are for their labor.” Guess more APs will be asking how much they’re going to get paid during matching?[/quote]
