[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The same here... I will have 20% less pay from May... I was wondering if it's ok to lower the AP pay ... she is definitely working less hours because we are all at home ... Anyone here has done that? I know it's not fair but everyone is feeling the pain of this situation and I can't afford to pay the full amount now especially when AP is working less... [/quote]

If you normally pay above the stipend, then yes, you can lower her pay to the stipend. But otherwise, no. You can or pay below the stipend.

Our BP is working two hours a day now, but we have actually increased his pay by $50 because he is quarantining with our family, and I appreciate it enormously. I want him to have extra money to take home with him when he leaves. And I recognize that he is missing out on a lot of wonderful experiences, but he is doing it all with a smile and a great attitude, and that’s worth a lot. If my pay were being reduced, making this additional money hard, I would definitely be up front with him about this and explain that I could no longer afford this bonus. But if you’re already paying the stipend, it’s illegal and unfair for you to reduce your AP’s pay and you should simply go into rematch. There are tons of families looking right now and your AP can go to a family who needs her more.  [/quote]
