Advice on calculating current income for I864

[lunarsol 0]

Hello,

 

I am looking for a little advice on calculating my partner's income for her I-864 form.

 

From 1st May this year, she has been employed with a company earning $20 an hour. It is a full time, permanent position and she is expected to work 40 hours a week. However, she is not salaried (yet) and is also not paid for time off. She has had a few days off since beginning work there. Prior to May, she was self employed.

 

I understand that for the question asking for her "current individual annual income", she should put her expected estimated total income for 2017. However, we're confused about how to estimate this, given that she is hourly and her wages, which are paid bi-weekly, have fluctuated a since she first started 4 months ago.

 

Thanks for any help/advice anyone can give!

The usual formula to calculate annual income for a full-time employee is to multiply 2,080 (the number of hours per year) by the salary per hour.

 

However, in the case where there is no paid time off, you'd need to subtract $160 for every sick day, vacation day, and holiday the worker would be expected to lose. Holidays that close the business are unavoidable losses financially. The other unpaid time off is up to the worker.

Ok, thanks. What should her letter from her employer state? Would just her dates of employment, hourly rate and that she is a full time permanent employee suffice?
