That doesn't sound worth it at all

We used to pay our day laborers nearly that much, and they worked 8 hour days with OT (1.5x) pay on weekends. Skilled labor is paid far more.

This. The math says that someone is getting a great deal, and it's not the OP. If you break it down hourly, it's worse than a McJob. Also, if you don't technically work there since you're paid under the table, what happens with a worker's comp claim? It's construction, **** happens regularly.

it sounds like that family member is taking advantage of the OP. And if OP is not on the payroll, insurance will not cover a worker's comp claim if something were to happen
