[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you pay legally with a Nannyshare? We want to do everything correctly. If we each are employers and pay separately, half of the payment is below minimum wage and the system won’t allow for that. How have other families handled this? [/quote]

Do you actually think you can pay 1/2 of mnimum wage for a nanny share,?  [/quote]

NP. You're missing the point. If minimum wage is $15, and you agree to pay a nanny $26 per hour, then each family is paying $13 per hour, which is less than minimum wage. This is perfectly legal, but since the concept of nanny shares is regional and not super common, lots of the basic nanny payroll services are not set up for them, and so they won't let you pay $13 per hour for your nanny. This was the case with our payroll service (we used Poppins Payroll). We got around this in the payroll system by paying $26 per hour 20 hours a week, rather than $13 per hour 40 hours a week.

This is just a limitation of the payroll system itself, it's not a legal issue. We have a contract that clearly states how much each family is paying per hour. We also told the worker's comp insurance company that we were in a share and were paying $13 per hour towards the nanny. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm a conscientious person who likes my i's dotted and my t's crossed, and I don't think there's any concern in using the payroll system this way. [/quote]
