[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We began at 16 with a dollar raise a year. She had a week off at Christmas and a week off in the summer, her choice of week. We paid her a flat rate, so if we has a doctor's appointment or trip and we didn't need her, she still got paid. We paid her and our portion of social security taxes through a nanny tax service. We also never monkeyed with her hours - at first 35 and then 40 a week. We didn't have paid sick time, but the one time she was out for a week very sick, she got paid. We didn't have any of this in writing, we worked on trust. We went into a nanny share because it was a way to get her more money and lower our costs though only marginally.  I paid 15 then. We also did a Christmas bonus worth almost a week's salary. This was a decade ago, so things may be more expensive now.  [/quote]

Nannies are HOURLY employees and it is illegal to pay a flat rate even if she agrees.  I hope you get caught as you are cheating her.  You are disgusting.  Was she legal? Probably not.[/quote]

It sounds like it was guaranteed hours (minimum ), not salary (flat).

And it is legal topay a flat rate.  I’ve worked 24/5 and 24/7.  When you know exactly what the shifts will be and what the pay is, it’s easy.[/quote]
