Reminder…stipend increase.

No Comment |

Posted by: gzaiser on June 29, 2009

Currently, the weekly au pair stipend is $176.85 per week. Effective Friday, July 24th, 2009, the Au Pair Stipend will increase from $176.85 to $195.75 per week

The calculation used to determine the au pair stipend amount is a combination of the federal minimum wage as well as a room and board allowance. The exact calculation used to determine the weekly stipend is as follows:

Minimum wage amount x 45 hours

- 40% (room and board allowance)

= au pair stipend amount

As you may recall, all Cultural Care Au Pair literature and agreements stipulate that host families comply with all regulations. Therefore, adherence to these changes is required of all program participants.
