[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always feel like we are kind of getting screwed in this situation too.

We typically need 45-48 hours of care per week.

When we go on vacation or there’s a snow day or even if our nanny takes the week off, we still pay her, but I don’t feel I should have to pay the 5-8 hours of overtime (and if I do, I don’t feel it should be at time and a half). I feel it should be her rate based on a 40 hour week.

Same with when there’s a holiday. Like I’m happy to pay for major holidays, but let’s say Monday is the 4th of July and then she works tues-Friday that week, but it only comes out to 32 hours because it’s a lighter week than normal and she was off on Monday.  Why do I have to pay her the same as if she worked a 48 hour week? Why do I still have to pay for 5-8 hours of overtime? I feel I should only have to pay for a 40 hour week.

Our nanny seems to feel like she is entitled to the exact same pay, 52 weeks of the year, regardless of what’s actually happening snd if I try to cut it back based on the above, she gets upset and confused.[/quote]

Legally you don’t have to (but it sounds like you know that). [/quote]
