hi there,
I was hoping to get some advice re an employment contract with our childminder.
in light of the recent 'au pair' case I want to set in stone our arrangement with our current childcarer to make sure there is no ambiguity in the future.
we want to pay our childminder a wage of 10euros per hour which she has agreed to, we then want to have a separate contract with her for her to rent a floor of our house (own stairs, own rooms, the rest of the family don't use this part of the house) for below the market rate.
is this possible? as we are not paying the childminder the minimum wage does this mean we can agree amongst ourselves the rent which would be charged for the room and not be restricted to the 'room and board' figure of 54euro per week contained in the minimum wage legislation?
many thanks in advance for your advice
