[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Labor laws apply to a typical employee, not a live-in resident who is living in your house with a private room and often private bathroom and eating your food, getting a free cell phone, car insurance, and other perks like gym membership and travel. Department of Labor regulations allow for room and board to be deducted. https://www.dol.gov/whd/homecare/credit_wages_faq.htm This is how agencies came up with their "minimum" weekly salary. Federal minimum wage minus 40% for room and board. We live in the city in DC where our AP's private room and bathroom could easily rent for $1000/month. If we find that future AP candidates are negotiating for higher weekly wages, we will probably go with a combination of after-care and college sitter.[/quote] Actually the formula is not based on market rate.
