[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous](Minimum Wage Has Increased So Now Would Be More Than 4.35). As of July 24, 2009 the minimum wage increased to $7.25 per hour for all live-out employees. Employers are legally allowed to deduct up to 40% of a live-in employee’s wage to cover the cost of room and board. Therefore, the legal federal minimum wage for live-in caregivers is only $4.35 per hour. http://bethebestnanny.com/2009/08/30/nanny-websites-allowing-parents-to-offer-less-than-minimum-wage/ The link has the article discussing it further[/quote] Yes you can deduct up to 40% based on the value of the room and board you are offering. The living situation described in the ad would NOT warrant a 40% deduction. Also what fool thinks you can get good childcare for minimum wage? This woman is going to end up with some pervy creeper living in her home, or some desperate individual with questionable judgement and life choices. [/quote]
