How much do you make / pay for 50 hours a week or more?

[Anonymous]

I am not the PP, but I could understand why someone might choose a position that pays $900 a week for 50 hours at $16.36 base over a position that pays, say $18 an hour for 40 hours a week, which would only gross $720.

Not for me. You are working an extra 10 hours. I don't accept positions that lower my hourly rate for more hours, especially if the position typically requires you to work all hours vs a lot of time off.

Hourly wage X technically: $16.36
OT wage 1.5X technically: $24.50

Do you think most families find it easier to hire a nanny who is only looking at gross wages, rather than having a set hourly range they expect AND OT where applicable?

If so, why do you think your 'formula" above is standard? Is it because nannies may not know they have a right to be paid OT, or because they just want a gros rate that is acceptable to them and don't care what their hourly rate is?

Many of these company owners are shysters with their deceptive magic "formulas" they recommend to their parent employer clients. They apparently think nannies are stupid andd can't do simple math. I had an employer who suggested using one of them.

I just said no. End of story.

No, many professional nannies are paid a weekly gross amount, it makes the w-2 filing easier too. each year it increases 3-5%. They don't even think about per hour whatever. But if they had to answer that question and worked over 40 hours a week, they'd apply that formula.

At the end of the day, many nannies out there are more focused on total income than hourly rates via part time work or less hours. We all know that to hire a good after school nanny you often pay a higher rate for those 5 hours a day than if that same nanny was working for you 10 hours a day.
Of someone needs $800-1090 a week they will go for nanny Shares and full time work, if they need a filler job for non-class days or simply don't want to work a full day they won't look into those jobs.
And many families know what you previously made, number of hours, kids, location , etc and also the market rate for what they are looking for.
It all works out and good matches are made.

Nannies are paid by the hour BY LAW. Nice try.

Awesome work ethic. Dovetails nicely with the amount of hours you spend in dcum.

This is exactly how broken English immigrant nannies get cheated. No wonder they're such a bargain for their unscrupulous American employers. How shameful.
