Paying Minimum Wage

My parents have help with their daily care, but don’t pay a minimum wage. They are needlessly tight with their money, how do we get them to pay these loyal and devoted caregivers a minimum wage? We find it embarrassing to even talk to them about it.

When we try to discuss the injustice with my parents, they say, “We’ve always paid them that, why should we pay more?”

Find out the minimum wage in your state and explain so that your parents will listen, that prices have risen and their caregivers’ current salaries should be based on the legal wage, whether it is fifty cents or a dollar more an hour, it will make a difference in their lives.
