I think the boss is taking advantage of her.  She should contact the authorities right away.  If she gets fired, she is better off.\n\nTell her to keep complete and accurate records of all her unpaid work.\n\nMy son is also putting in an extra unpaid day at his work, \ndoing training every Saturday.  He claims it will help him in the future.  I believe the boss is taking advantage of him also, but it is voluntary on his part.

i babysit very often, although i've never had a case like this.  i know it may sound odd, but i think the price/hour/child, in this case, may depend on how long she babysits each time.  by this, i mean that, if she just babysits for an hour or two, it would be less per hour than if she did it for more than 4 or 5 hours.  this is because, as the time goes by, there is more work that has to be done, more problems to deal with, more stress for sitter and children, etc.  i would say a baseline total would be about $20-$30 per hour, but more would be acceptable, depending on the families monetary status (if you know it), the going rate for babysitters in your area, etc.  possibly, charge $30 for the first 2 or 3 hours, then maybe $40 for the next few.  with these prices, I'm using a low estimate of $15 for autistic/hour (more, depending on the work your daughter needs to do), then $7.50/hour for each of the other 2.  i give the same price for these 2  because the 12 yr old probably doesn't need that much looking-after, i think it's nice to charge a little less as they get older, and, especially since it sounds like the ADD is very mild, that shouldn't be much of a factor in pricing.  ask around what is usually charged for 3 typical children in your area, raise the price slightly, consult with the parents of the children about how much they are willing to pay.  the price for 2 childern should be more than the price of 1 child times 2 (more work with 2, more trouble to get into), same goes for 3.\nyour daughter sounds like a wonderful person to be willing to do this work.  it sounds like a great opportunity for her to grow as a person as well.

Not likely to get a free answer here - I know people who get paid $40/hr for those kinds of tasks.  Stop being lazy and do your own work.

If you are a single mom the government will supplement your salary. They will pay you the other half of your wages so you get full time pay working part time.

If he works to support you, and you are not working outside the home then you really have no right to complain.  I mean, you do get to stay at home, so why should he work 8 hours a day and have to come home to help you.  I don't think you are being fair.

I would call the Dept. of Labor right away, ask for the wage & hour division, and then look for another job. There are laws which protect you.

She will have to prove to the courts that she and the daughter would be better off moving. Most courts won't look kindly upon her picking up and moving without a guaranteed job wherever she is moving to. Tell her to get her ducks in a row, then issue a written 30 day's notice to the father outlining the wheres and whys of the move. If he fights it, she'll at the very least be equipped with a good arguement.

I don't. \n\nA pediatrician generally is on call 24 hours per day/ though they may share this duty with another doc or a group of docs.  Payment depends on what ones work arrangement is. A doc can be an employee of a group practice, a company, or can be self employed.  payment can depend on the success of the practice, or can be a percentage of her patients generated payments ( direct payments, co-payments, insurance payments etc.), or can be an amount of salary or other money he designates from her own company to cover her living expenses, or to compensate her for her work.\n\nUsually these payments will be either monthly or bi-monthly in schedule.

Robyn, I am so sorry...have you  talked with the hospital (social services, social worker) to ask about some options. If you are a care giver and qualify I am sure that you could get some type of medical insurance to care for you daughter and maybe that could get you back to work...Call the social services at the hospital and they can steer you into right direction..they have the resources at their fingertips...Do you have some type of Leukemia Office in Michigan that you can call for help..(health care providers, free care, free medical assistance, medications) I wish you much luck...and prayers to you and your daughter.

You should take food over there (healthy food, no kool aid) and talk to her about getting a job. There is no reason for a young woman to stay home and live on child support. Make it clear to her that this is the last time you will be feeding her and her kids. Help her get the phone number to an employment office, a bus schedule, a resume.. what ever it is that she needs to get employed. Talk to her about finding day care for the kids. If she is receptive to this then great. If not then you need to walk away with the understanding that someone else will feed that family. They ate before she met you. Ask her what kind of an example she wants to set for her children. A user or a go getter? There was something about her that you liked at the start. let her know what that was. \nIf, on the other hand, you get over there and find that she has more than milk and eggs walk away and never look back.\n Good luck.  and God bless.

Check around and see what comparable jobs are paying. Then, armed with this evidence, request a private meeting to discuss the issue. Explain that your current situation si such that you may soon be paying to work. If she's not willing to budge, consider updating your resume and looking for a different position.

From the information you've given, I strongly recommend documenting everything that happens or is discussed between you and your employer.  It sounds as if this person is in financial trouble and you may have a problem with getting the money you're owed.  \nIf your employer is 4 weeks behind the normal, scheduled pay dates you should first attempt to solve the problem by telling the employer you need your money immediately. I also recommend looking for an alternate method of providing income for your family.  \nIf the employer will not terminate employment, and you have not signed a casual labor contract, you need to speak with a labor relations officer.  This can be done at your local employment insurance office.  It sounds as if you work for a small organization and unfortunately your employer is not interested in taking care of his employees.  \n\nGood luck and remember to follow the proper channels so that you have moral superiority and the law on your side.

Check out your state's wage and hour laws (or labor laws). They should have the specific compliance info you need.

Many states have crime victims compensation. Ask the DA's office if you have this in in your state. You also might want to file a civil lawsuit. This way if he works again or comes into money your daughter would get some of his money automatically. If you don't have money for a lawyer right now call the local BAR Association and ask for help. They probably can recommend someone who will work for free or cheap. Good luck.

This isn't a legal issue, it's a company policy issue.  If you are on salary they have to pay you the whole day, because you showed up; however, they can also charge your vacation time for the hours not worked.

You should return the call and tell her not to call anymore since you do not work there.  Offer to be a consultant at $25/hour if they need to find anything with a minimum of 4 hour shifts.
