The issue of taxi cab reimbursement has been raised by our 24/7 live in aide. What are other families doing to handle this request?

I was wondering what other families are doing to handle any request by their live in aide to cover part of their commuting expenses (cab ride) when they go home for a personal visit that is not in any way job related. Typically the expense would be $24.00 round trip with the tip. We are located in LI, NY.

I assume she is a live in. If so ur probably providing her food and a room. Plus a decent salary. No, ur not responsible for her travel. This should have been discussed at the time of hiring.

If the aide had her own car would you be expected to pay for her gas when she goes home for a personal visit? Of course not.

Does my boss pay for my gas to go home after work? No.

Have you already paid this expense? If so, you're liable to have a hairy situation on your hands if you decide to not pay it anymore.

If you haven't paid this expense yet I would advise against it. $24 is not a lot of money but it seems like the aide is trying to take advantage. If you pay the $24 what will the next expense be?

Requesting that you cover her cab ride home is pretty bold. I'd watch out for this aide.
