[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s time to renew our contract and our nanny is asking for an insane raise! We have given her a raise after each year she has been with us but this time she requests almost triple what we’ve raised her in the past. I was confused as to why she was demanding we pay her that much more. I then found out she saw our annual income because we had left our tax papers on the kitchen counter one day. She says we’re “rich“ and can “afford” the raise. However, her demand would mean paying her at least[b] $150+ a week (depending if she does over time)[/b] and that is too much for my husband and I at the moment. I don’t want to let her go but I don’t want to lose her either. We countered her offer and said we could do the same we’ve always done but she’s not taking it. [/quote]

Can you clarify the raise would be $150 more than what she is making or you only pay her $150?![/quote]

Right now she works 45 hours with us at $26.50/h. = 1192.5 per week. 
She wants $30/h x 45= 1350 per week. 
It’s a 150+ weekly increase [/quote]

So you don't pay overtime for hours 41-45? I'd suggest correcting that issue (13.75 * 5 = $68.75) plus the dollar raise for the first 40 hours is a decent compromise imo. Less than the $175 she wants, more than the $45 you are offering. [/quote]

I do pay overtime after 40 hours. [/quote]
