[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I follow the [b]rules and pay $10/hour at a max of 45 hours/$450/week[/b].

If your AP told me you were pressuring her to work over hours AND pressuring her not to take market rate I would help her get you kicked out of the program.

What rule is this" Are you saying 1800/mo, minus agency fees and the rest goes to the AP?[/quote]

Who said it's a "rule"? I pay my APs $10/hr varied by how many hours we use each week over the minimum of 25/$250. So as a general proposition I agree with OP that an AP's time, given the other perks of the job, is worth about $10/hr.

If OP and the AP agreed on overtime, I wouldn't say anything, even tho it's illegal, but trying to bully the AP down is a bad look. [/quote]

I do something similar, but am in Virginia and keep meticulous records of hours worked. I view the stipend ad a minimum. As someone with a moral compass, I pay minimum wage. One the AP hits 27.58/hrs, minimum wage kicks in at 7.25 every hour after than and then she is paid time and a half for hours 40-45. I'd never ask for her to work over 45. Max pay is $344/wk.

OP is gross

And that’s at minimum wage, with the normal stipend as the minimum?  Thank you for showing that it’s less than $150 extra to meet federal minimum wage law :)[/quote]

Yes, so it takes approx 27.5 hrs to hit $200 at 7.25/hr.

Yes and the extra 144 is ONLY if someone hits 45 hrs.[/quote]
