My friend cares for disabled children and "sleeps in" 3 nights a week. The trouble is the charity she works for is reducing her pay to £30 for a 9hr night!!!
She is all set to quit but my question is what about minimum pay? and does this apply as a sleep in care assistant??
I think minimum wage does not apply to time on call. And even if she is up working all night, if the employer is cute, they can find a way around it... rent her the room she is sleeping in, maybe?
