[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello,

I am a new nanny and don’t know if I’m wrong or not….

I recently began working with a family and they are fantastic. The only issue I’m having right now is not receiving my payment on time. [b]We agreed to weekly pay and I would assume I receive my payment at the end of the week by the end of my shift[/b]. It is never consistent. A few times I got paid on Saturday and one time on Sunday morning. Because of this I have asked if they were sending my payments over. [b]I think they got upset that I’m asking[/b]. Am I wrong??? How should I go about this?? I mean we are all human beings with lives and responsibilities so im not understanding why they would get upset about it….. [/quote]

I'll be blunt with you: you need to use your words and have a conversation. Ask to sit down with them so you're not confused about which days you'll be paid/how you'll be paid.

It's unusual to get paid for the previous week immediately at the end of your shift. Let's say you worked Monday March 3rd through Friday March 7th. If your contract states you'll get paid every Friday, you would be paid for that week on Friday, March 14th. This gives them time to go through the payroll service if you worked more hours and your typical pay needs to be adjusted.

You say you're paid electronically -- is that through your bank? Venmo? Do your hours ever change week by week?

Why are you assuming they're upset with you? Are you having these conversations via text, where tone can be easily misconstrued? [/quote]
