[quote=nannydebsays]OP, if I am reading your last post correctly, you plan to keep her wage at $780/week, but cut her hours down to 40 from 50?

So her base rate now is $14.18/hour, and she gets $21.27/hour for the 10 hours of OT. You want to shift that to $19.50/hour with no OT.

As a nanny, I would **absolutely** accept that offer, as long as I was made generally aware of the work issues currently affecting your family. IOW, nanny needs to know that you value her work, but just can't manage a raise right now.

You might also want to let her know that once your DH has his job back on track, her hours will go back up to 50, and a raise will be in order, which will actually lower her hourly, but increase her weekly gross pay. I would also suggest revamping your work agreement to reflect the changes and the future expectations.

If she will truly have every Friday off, she can seek out additional jobs to make a little more money or she can simply enjoy 3 day weekends and the ability to schedule her own appointments on Fridays.[/quote]
