[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a travel nanny my rates are different but when I was just traveling every now and then

I charged my regular guaranteed hours plus OT hrs for those hours outside of my regular hours plus a travel fee of $100/day away from home.

So if you are choosing to not take her Wednesday and Thursday. You still pay her the guaranteed hours per the contract you have. She can come in and do kid related things while your gone. Friday her hours start the time she arrives at the airport (I believe you said you where flying) til the time she gets in her own car home on Sunday.

So yes by Friday depending on the hours she’ll fall into OT either Friday night or Saturday morning. [b]Anything outside her normal contract hours is paid at OT. P[/b]lus a travel fee daily.

You should also update your contract and add a travel clause.

If you’re paying legally you would be paying the weekend babysitting as OT which means you are either paying illegally on all pay or just the weekends either way you’re screwing your nanny and Shame on you

And yes you should be paying OT rates for her weekend babysitting you are having her do. [/quote]
This is incorrect, legally, if that's what you insist on. Any hours above 40 hrs/week is OT, and per the IRS nannies must be paid as hourly workers. No exceptions to pay them a "salary". Overall, this should almost always work in favor of the nanny.[/quote]

What?? Contract hours are not salary[/quote]
