How much to pay a live in carer

of course not because that would be admitting that you said 'caring is a part time job'

Just for you I'll post it again:

A part-time worker is someone who works fewer hours than a full-time worker. There is no specific number of hours that makes someone full or part-time

Official .gov website, thus a FACT. Therefore what I said was FACTUALLY correct. However it can also be FULL TIME. It varies and depends on the person cared for, which also I have stated MANY a times!

Agree duchy.

Had to laugh at the part time worker link though yes a worker is entitled by law to NMW :rotfl:

Sadly Carers on CA are not deemed workers by the state they are in receipt of a benefit in exchange for 35 hours minimum of caring.

Well at least someone, albeit indirectly, agreed with me.

Oart time or full time is decided by the number of hours worked and not by the pay received.
some hight fliers can receive 100's for an hour of their time... does that mean they are working full time?
apart from that, CA is NOT a wage, it is an allowance.
the criteria to receive that ALLOWAVCE states that the recipient has to provide care for a minimum of 35 hours a week

Part time or full time can not be determined by number of hours.

In UK there is no definition really. It depends.

Wage and allowance both lead to one thing and one thing only, and that is MONEY. Thus for many purposes, there is no difference. Perhaps the only place where it might have an effect is taxation.

we all know what is meant by the terms though. no one would consider 35 hours a week to be part time and you said 'caring is a part time job'
and again for those that receive CA... it is not a hob because no wage is paid.
it is a way of life, and not one that many ( apart from you) would wish to volunteer for

so people on JSA get a wage for being unemployed? parents get a wage ( child benefit) for having children?
you really have a skewed way of looking at things

I think it's very sad that sh1981 and their erroneous views have allowed the thread to veer to trying to educate them as to what a carer is as a job rather than getting an allowance for caring for someone you know.

I have clarified, that part time or full time is subjective and depends on the situation and circumstances. REGARDLESS, part time or full time, the definitions themselves are not definied.

I also clarified, for financial purposes, except for taxation, wage and allowance is one and the same as it leads to MONEY.

Regarding your last comment about it being a way of life, I never said that or implied that. There are 6 billion people in this world, and you cannot in any way or form say that I am the only one who would volunteer.

With all due respect, my views are not erronous. A carer can be a 'career' carer who would do it as a job, or could be someone getting an 'allowance' as it is termed, however they both get paid. That was simply my point. Furthermore there is no definition of full time and part time. Also I made the error of merely portraying my most humble opinion in saying that for some people (and apparently I'm the only one out of 6 billion on this planet) who would care for someone and not worry about whether they are paid a 'wage' or an 'allowance', or well even 'nothing'.
