[quote=nannydebsays]I think your best bet at this point is to sit down with her and discuss how much she is making GROSS, and how much of that comes out of YOUR pocket. Then offer to either start paying her in GROSS dollars minus taxes and base her raise on that, or offer her a MUCH smaller raise if she wants to keep being paid NET. IOW, if she wants to begin being paid her GROSS wage minus taxes, she gets a typical $1/hour raise, or if she chooses to keep being paid NET, her raise will be .25/hour. Do the math with your accountant so that you only offer as much as you can afford in either case. And be prepared for her to choose to leave rather than have her pay reflect reality. Then, NEVER offer to pay another nanny's tax burden for her. ALWAYS discuss pay based on gross wages.[/quote]
