How much to pay employee who sleeps over in hotel

[evansabove]

I have an employee who occasionally sleeps over in my hotel when we have guests in. She wants to be paid £3 for every hour she sleeps over after 2am when the bar closes. To my knowledge she has only once had to get up to attend to a guest & quite frankly if she is right she will undoubtedly ruin us. For example last week we had only 1 guest staying over & from a £55.00 payment once all expenses had been taken out (VAT, commission to late rooms, laundry, tea, coffee etc etc & of course her attendance allowance) we were left with £3.32!!!!! What should I be paying - is it possible to offer a flat rate fee of say £10/night? Please bear in mind that when she does stay over is is occupying a room!

does she not have a home of her own? you make it sound like she is inconveniencing you by staying.

to say "she will ruin us" is just ridiculous. your business is obviously suffering if you only had 1 guest in a week.

I'm not going to add to the excellent answers you've already received on your identical thread. Fortunately I spotted the other thread first.
It's an amazing irritant to us regulars that people duplicate good questions in multiple places - it really doesn't help.
