My helper of almost two years now has been offered a decent paying position with the city. She's great! I really hate to lose her. She hasn't decided for sure if she will take the position. It's a salaried position and includes lots of weekend and evening duties. She really doesn't want to give up her weekends. Plus she is wanting to have a baby and this job would have her outside all summer. It's over the swimming and concessions for the city so she would have lots of different and somewhat demanding responsibilities. She can handle them for sure. She's great at whatever she does. She works hard and is a good employee. I'm thinking of offering her a raise but I can't compete with $14 an hour, plus she will have benefits. I can only offer paid holidays and weekends off. I have her at $9 an hour now. Her schedule is pretty flexible and only have her working about 25 hours a week but she doesn't really want full time.
Are there any benefits that you guys can think of that I could offer her besides a raise? I will probably offer her $1 raise but I can't afford to pay her anymore than that. Things that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg but would help make her decision a little more difficult or am I just wishful thinking?
Main reason she would take this job would be benefits...mainly insurance. I don't even have insurance myself right now so I can't offer It to her unfortunately.
Would love
