-
well most cleaning services I know would set a rate , plus the mile you drive to the person home . that would give you more pay . but i would just sit down and talk to your friend that your working with and talk to her , ask or talk about the rate your being pay and see if they can do something about gas . that should be included i think . just ask really nice. does not hurt to ask ..

If you do not want to do it then simply kindly say no. As a friend don't do anything you truly do not want to do.
-
Gas has never been included when I have had cleaners. Just be honest with her.
-
If I understand correctly, your friend runs a cleaning service and pays her workers $10 an hour.
What she charges has nothing to do with what she pays her workers. If you don't want the job, don't take it.
-
a Freindship should never have limits if real
-
Your friend is paying you $10.00 an hour at her housekeeping company to help her out. And it sounds like you are not happy with the terms. If taking this job is going to hurt your friendship due to the pay, then it may be better for you to say "no" to the job and keep your friendship.
-
How long does she expect you to do this?
-
If you are not happy making $10 an hour, then just say no. If she is a true friend, she will understand.
I used to help my father out on a cleaning job. He cleared $75 a week for the cleaning and paid me $50. The job took 1-2 hours depending on the mess. He made $25 a week to do nothing. I was ok with that because he had to pay taxes, etc. Your friend probably has overhead as well if it is a business.

Taking the job and accepting the cleaning company criteria,usually means you agree with what the amount u are being paid pr hr, and the detailed description of each day needed clean and what type of clean you will follow, Mind me if I am not correct I understand cleaning jobs can be physicl and time consuming, and its a uneasy feeling if your being under paid for the type of cleaner you are, A friend pregnant or not woulod and should be able to be fair and reasonable to be able to discuss the pay rate change on those days you do go over and drive time, Good luck and best wishes.

You have to do what you have to do.
-
in this case she is your employer first and not your friend treat like a busniess arrangement
-
turns out my friend got real sick almost died i ended up saying nothing chalked it up for 4 months then queitly walked away we are still really good friends she a excellent mother
-
I think you need to re-negotiate the pay with your friend...your time is important...
-
Even if your friend was really sick I don't think you should keep silent because you don't know if in the future something similar will happen again! Clear the air for you & you're friend's sake.
-
not sure if the air is cleared she asked me to work at the spur of the moment one weekend and i had 4 kids had to say no so she has never asked again but oh well i see her at family functions she my sis in law best friend we seem to be ok
-
Yes,if it was someone else perhaps the amount the owner get paid wouldn't make a difference. Like any other employer...they make so much more than what they pay their employees.You either agree to the pay or not.The fact that she's a friend has nothing to do with it.
-
we barely see each other anymore don't know if it by choice or not we are both so busy but I'm assuming its over
-
It depends on what kind friend you have. Has to be a good person.
-
so i ran into her we are good decided we will not work together again but we are ok
-
If she is a good friend, forgive her, friendship is more important than money at times....
-
i have no hard feelings to her and she says she has none towards me
-
Personally I think these days everybody is out for themselves no matter what the situation family friends neighbors quite sad really but it's it's a fight to the Finish.
-
i beleive this sometimes Cjfrank1
-
I would tell her that just because we're friends, don't take advantage of our friendship, she hired you as an employee, and should pay you as such, $10 an hour for cleaning someone's house is not enough. If you're there for 3/4 hours you should get paid $13/14 an hour, that should include putting gas in your car to get to the place you need to be. Someone else wouldn't go for that, and neither should you.
-
well we have just decided we will not work together anymore said she didnt have choice her husband set the rates because the company is under his construction company and he pays taxes on it
-
As a friend, you shouldn't have to do anything work related if you're not ok with it. I can understand helping out a little but if they have all that money to spend on fertility then it doesn't seem like she needs the help that bad.
