[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an experienced nanny and I've never came across this. I had a trial day ( MB said it's a shadow day). We talked about starting date, contract contingent on me passing a background and good references. So I show up at 11 and stayed until 5. They were about to let me out when I told them it was customary to be paid for a trial day. The dad looks at me, sticks his hands in his pockets, and firmly says " I didn't realize we had to do that. I've never heard that. Why don't we include it in this weeks pay, or we will maybe send you a check if there are issues with the background check".

Maybe I'm overreacting but I think it's nonsense. I gave my time to be there and I should get paid for it. I liked them up until that point. They are FTPs so it would be fine if they said something along the lines of " Sorry. We didn't know. How about we include.." Instead of putting " maybe..". What's most odd is they have yet to ask my rate or discuss salary.

Tell me who is right here. [/quote]

ALWAYS,, but ALWAYS, Get it in writi,g even if all you do is sent a confirming text or email and ask for a reply to confirm the trial day and hourly rate.  I would not take a job with them because anyone expecting you to give them 6 hours free childcare will cheat you every way possible.  Tell him you will take him to small claims court.  [/quote]
