So upset...I really got screwed

[Anonymous]

Hard to believe how anyone can be working with a reputable nanny payroll company, and be in the middle of this kind of nightmare. Hmmmm.

[Anonymous]

So you're saying Homework Solutions isn't giving you paycheck stubs? Something doesn't measure up in your story.

This is why people are calling you a troll, OP. Your story makes no sense.

[Anonymous]

I'm sorry it makes no sense but this is what is happening. I was told that I could log in online to get my W-2 so that's what I did. There is a break down on there of what I make every three months but that's it. Homework solutions hasn't updated anything since June of last year. How the hell am I supposed to know what's going on. I asked DB about that part and he said he doesn't know why it's not updated but everything he gets from them has been updated or so he says. He wasn't reporting the additional earnings earlier in the year that was a last minute thing he says he decided to do. So now he has reported all additional income as well. The earnings that I have received look like the following on homework solutions (and are only listed through end of June so I have no idea about the other half of last year).

I got rid of names and verifying account numbers but all the info for last year that I have is listed below. Part of the reason I was posting was because it seems like my employers are being very fishy with me and I would just like to know what the hell is going on. You all may think that I'm lying but what reason on earth would I have for lying and hopefully posting what actually shows up will dispel any further you must be a troll posts.

Why aren't you calling the payroll company?

[Anonymous]

11:36 that's my next step. Have to go pick the little one up from preschool so I will update you all later on what the payroll company has to say.

Since I didn't think based on prior experience with them that they were taking taxes from it I just didn't say anything about time and a half. I figured who cares if they aren't taking taxes out then I won't squabble with them over it because it's all money in my pocket and I wouldn't be missing any of it. Oh how wrong I was. I will be speaking with them and showing them a print out from Homework Solutions that states that over time must be paid at 1.5 times the normal rate for all over time hours. Can't wait to see their faces when I tell them they owe me a lot of money in over time. Someone mentioned that they should use a payroll company. They actually do use one. They do nanny taxes every year through Homework Solutions which is part of 4nannytaxes.com. I have been with them for 2 1/2 years so the previous year they didn't report this extra income and all of a sudden decided to report it this year. I just wish they had said something earlier so I could have been taking out appropriate taxes. They were taking the taxes out of my check and reporting my earnings to homework solutions all along but any time I babysat they would either give me a separate check or add it onto my work check for the week if I babysat on a night that I was due my weekly paycheck. If they were planning to report the extra then how come they didn't go ahead and take the taxes from it all right there. My theory is that they didn't take them out because they knew I would be saying hey where's my time and a half then. I really don't feel like having this you owe me money conversation with them but I don't want to get screwed again. I am hoping to bring this up in a polite way that won't result in loss of job. I am not prepared to lose this job yet and don't really make enough to have much in savings at any given time. I just started the job hunt so hopefully I can find something quickly and give notice. I'm really going to miss the kids though.

Good for you, OP!

I wonder why they
A) Did this
B) Didn't tell you

Seems kinda sneaky! I mean, they aren't getting extra taxes back doing this, are they?

Definitely follow up and tell them. They're in the wrong.

[Anonymous]

OP, please don't explain yourself to trolls. It's the same troll always calling every post a troll. I always thought there were two main trolls but it quickly appeared that it was one troll who comments the original poster and calls them a troll, then comes back and agrees with him/herself.

[Anonymous]

Don't worry, the more hours you work, the less your taxes will be. Atleast that's how it works in my wack ass state.

[Anonymous]

OP, you are owed overtime for every hour over 40 per week. If they want to start following the IRS laws, GREAT! Now they can start following the FLSA laws. Ask for what they OWE you.

BTW, I am a MB.

[Anonymous]

OP, I agree with the PP.

But how much did you work? I can't tell from those stubs if you grossed 13,000 or twice that. Keep in mind, OT is just for hours worked, so you are only owed OT for any week you actually worked more than 40 hours. That is, you can't count pay for vacation time, holidays, or guarenteed hours when they came hone early. Figure out what you are really owed.

[Anonymous]

I worked an additional 112 hours last year. May not sound like a lot more as far as pay but it is when it's supposed to be time and a half. If they go ahead and pay what they owe me then the taxes owed on this amount can just come out of what they pay me for the over time. I spoke with the payroll company and was told that they now only take care of the taxes and the W-2 and that he said he wanted to now do the payroll by himself. Also he is supposed to be giving me paycheck stubs or updating it online. He was the one who generated the pay information I posted through June 29th but he didn't do the other half of the year. I can't compare my W-2 to the paycheck stubs because he didn't finish them. When I asked him the other day about how come homework solutions hadn't updated the other half he lied to my face and said that he didn't know and they must just be behind. More like he is behind on finishing them. One thing I cannot stand is someone lying straight to my face. I have never lied to them and they shouldn't and have no reason to lie to me.

Thank you. Honestly it's so f'in annoying to see this over and over again on EVERY thread. Jesus.

[Anonymous]

OP, So what happened?

[Anonymous]

OP here: apparently they want to have time to think over what they want to do this weekend. Guess I will find out Monday.

This. Do you regularly work 40 hours, or are you part-time? If so then you aren't owed time and half for babysitting, though if you expected it you certainly should discuss it with your employers, because they can still give it to you.
