Your 880 needs to be calculated as if it was net though for those weeks. Then renegotiate the new gross rate in a contract.<br /><br />AngiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-19385085134504451612015-07-15T15:19:40.765-04:002015-07-15T15:19:40.765-04:00I would suggest asking for a raise in what you mak...I would suggest asking for a raise in what you make per week. Like if you wanted to make 800 per week, you should have a net pay of 900 ish so that your take home pay is still 800. Just tell her you wouldn't be able to work with making 70 less per week.Heidinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-53889901509253197822015-07-15T15:15:07.465-04:002015-07-15T15:15:07.465-04:00They are responsible for their share of the taxes ...They are responsible for their share of the taxes and you're responsible for YOUR share. If you need 880 as take home pay, raise your rate so that your after tax income (net) is 880. You may have trouble receiving that rate depending on going rate in your area. <br /><br />To be completely frank, I have no sympathy for tax dodgers whether they be NFs or nannies.

You are considered a legal employee. This means your employer is always responsible for withholding taxes and paying their personal share on your income. Do NOT agree to sign a document dated for May 1st, though, or you have no opportunity to fight it if your employer does not reimburse you.Nanny Chttp://westcoastwifeymaterial.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-27224640647287945572015-07-15T14:29:58.795-04:002015-07-15T14:29:58.795-04:00(btw, I'm also from RI so I know what it's...(btw, I'm also from RI so I know what it's like to be a nanny there). <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-58411851702798273462015-07-15T14:24:25.459-04:002015-07-15T14:24:25.459-04:00You need to write up a contract up immediately.

This means that if you are being paid on the books, both, you and your employer are responsible for paying taxes (ss, unemployment insurance, and income/federal). If you didn't have a written agreement beforehand, you might not have any power to negotiate your salary at this time, but you are entitled to paid vacation and sick days, and over-time. Weekends should also be put in your contract, generally you charge more for weekend hours. This is a good thing, you'll have more control over your position, and your employer will be accountable. You can try to renegotiate salary, the worst that they could say is no. Just don't try to get it in cash. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
