Agreed. At this point, that child is no longer really yours. Perhaps you want to remedy that. Or maybe you simply have other more important priorities, in which case, the nanny is essentially functioning as the parent. She can wear what she wants to wear.

Lots of nannies are doing most of the parenting work.

Nannies aren't entitled to time and a half OT. Just base pay OT.

I don't know who told you that but its wrong. Nannies are FSLA hourly workers, entitled to OT pay after 40 hours, defined as 1.5 times their base rate. The number of people on here spouting out and out incorrect BS is astounding.

No they are entitled to OT past their scheduled hours, which may be more than 40. So if this nanny agreed to and scheduled herself for 60 hours a week then she doesn't get time and a half OT.

Nope, nope, nope. From the Department of Labor:

Domestic service employment means services of a household nature performed by a worker in or about a private home (permanent or temporary). The term includes services performed by workers such as companions, babysitters, cooks, waiters, maids, housekeepers, nannies, nurses, janitors, caretakers, handymen, gardeners, home health aides, personal care aides, and family chauffeurs. This listing is illustrative and not exhaustive. Employees providing services in a private home are generally domestic service employees covered under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). These employees must be paid at least the federal minimum wage for all hours worked and overtime pay at not less than time and one half the regular rate of pay for hours worked over 40 in a workweek. Section 13(a)(15) of the FLSA provides a narrow exemption from the minimum wage and overtime requirements for casual babysitters and workers employed to perform companionship services for an elderly person or person with an illness, injury or disability. Section 13(b)(21) of the FLSA provides an exemption from the overtime, but not the minimum wage requirement for those employees who reside in the private home where they work (live-in domestic service employees).

No. This is why I hate this average rate crap. It confuses people. Nannies are entitled to OT after 40 hours just like every other hourly worker. What you may have seen advocated on here is some BS about "average rates" and a way to skirt the OT requirements by backing into the rates from a guaranteed weekly rate based on a regular schedule. In that scenario, you would pay the OT rate after any hours past the agreed upon schedule, but that doesn't mean that the nanny isn't getting OT for hours over 40.

We recently increased her hours. She comes in at 5am and leave between 5 and 7pm. Since increasing her hours she has been coming in, in yoga pants and a tshirt and changing around 8am into regular clothes (I can see on the nanny cam that she goes to the bathroom and changes).

Should I be upset? Isn't this a little ridiculous, that she can't come totally prepared in the morning?

I wonder if you pay her overtime,you know after 40 hours is overtime,I hope you do,and stop controlling your nanny....

I bet she even dares to eat during her shifts. The nerve of some people!

I pay my nanny a standard rate for 55 hours a week, no OT. Honestly I don't think she speaks enough english anyways to argue a different arrangement but things work fine for us.

Except you are breaking the law and that non English speaking nanny can come after you and will win all that OT you have not paid her. Wise up employers and stop trying to skirt the laws. It's not worth it.
