[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We guarantee 50 hours a week and generally use 47, starting at 8AM and staying up until 6pm but letting her go early.  We had our first overnight in 5mo so dh and I could take a staycation at a local Airbnb.  Our general agreement is $150 for the night + her regular hourly rate for hours kids are awake beyond her usual hours.  This week she only worked 44 of her regular hours between 8-6.  She also worked 11 hours kids were up outside of 8-6.  Should her overtime be  11 hours or 5 hours (plus the flat rate of $150 a night)

She charged the full 11 and I paid it but I feel like it should have only been 5 extra hours.  She also asked for a half day next week even though she’s already used all her vacation time and I said sure but will still pay the full $50.  It just feels a bit taken advantage of - she accounts for every extra dollar she could get but never gives back.  But maybe that’s not a fair expectation [/quote]

The 44 hours she worked, was that because you came home and let her go, or because she took leave, such as for a doctor's appointment?

If she is guaranteed to be paid for 8 - 6 every day, then she should be paid for those hours, and anything outside those hours would be overtime.[/quote]
