[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never said I would not pay overtime. We have always paid our employees overtime. I said it was a nice gesture of her to refuse on the 15-30 mins extra she worked on two days, because she had not finished her chores. Had she worked for an extra hour or three hours, then without a doubt i would pay her for the work she did. Maybe if you read the whole thread you would of realized that. I didn't come here trying to find ways to take advantage of our employee. I came here for advice on trying to tell her how we feel without insulting/hurting her feelings while keeping everyone happy. Pretty tired of getting attacked from the few here, when i have treated our new live in with respect and show her great appreciation.

No one said I dump my kids on her when off duty. She comes into our space. I should not have to put my 2 year old in a high chair or take him away from our gated family room because she wants to sit and watch tv with them. All I was asking is how do I tell her nicely, that from 7pm (time she finished) to 9pm (time kids go to bed), I would like to spend it alone with my family. I am sure most of you would not want to hangout with your boss 24/7 and vice versa[/quote]

If you don't want her in the family room while you have family time than you need to provide her with her own similar area. I think it is awful to think I would not be wanted in the living area. Like a prior poster said, you moved her in so this is no longer just your family space. This is a choice you made having a LI. Also I would be careful with the no pay for the OT. Yes she is ok with it now but she could go to the board of labor and show the hours she has no been paid during her employment. 15 mins here and there add up to hours in the end. I would cover your butt and pay so you don't get screwed later.[/quote]
