I like helping her out, and giving him someone to look up to, but I honestly think I deserve a payrise. I earn $2.50 below the minimum wage per hour. How do I ask her to pay me more, without sounding like an asshole? Is it as easy as saying, "Hey. Could you pay me the minimum wage at least?" I dunno. I don't want to be too straight forward as I know they struggle with finances etc.[/quote] FAQ Keyword Search: Post Options Favorites Manager Notify me of new replies to this topic by email Notify me of new replies to this topic by private message Original Post feeltheshane Posted at 9:54 pm on July 20, 2009 I have this little side job which involves me picking an 8 year old boy from school, giving him afternoon tea, helping him with his homework, and then kicking a ball around with him or whatever till his mum arrives to pick him up after work at 5.
