Nanny Share Payment

[Anonymous]

Op here she is asking for $27/hr for the whole day that she has two kids. She told me I should continue to pay $18/hr and the other family should pay the extra $9. So, my check would remain the same and she would see the increase from the other family.

Definitely not how it works. I posted earlier with all the "numbers", she is out of her mind if she thinks she deserves $27 the entire day. Go back to her with the break down and explain what overtime is, how you techniquely pay it. She only deserves $27 for the actual overtime not all day.

1) You do owe her back pay for any OT she worked (with one or both children) for less than $27/hr. Do the right thing and pay her.

2) She is only entitled to OT pay for hours beyond 40. Explain that Fridays with both children will be paid as any other share day would (i.e. $9/hr/family until OT kicks in).

3) The pay structure she is requesting would only make a sliver of sense if you were adding a new child to the mix rather than her regular charge, and even then would be over the top. What is her reasoning when she tells you what she wants to be paid?

+100. This PP has it exactly right.

another +1 to 12:19. $27/hr is too high for the whole day. Also if it is more than occassional than of course the 5 day family needs to share in the "break" in teh rate, not simply have all the extra go to the nanny. Otherwise, it's not fair to the 5 day a week family that is already bearing more of the cost of the share (since presumably finding a 4 day share match would be tougher than for the 5 day family to find a new 5 day match).
