Family A needs 40 hours per week (8-4), Family B needs 37.5 hours (8.30-4). If Family A needs an extra hour on Monday, putting total hours over 40, there's no reason that Family B should be paying overtime for 3-4 on Friday. My assumption is that the schedule is set as 8-4, both families pay share rates from 8.30-4, Family A pays individual rates from 8-8.30. If Family A goes over on Monday (or any other day), they pay overtime for anything they have the nanny work individually.


Your assumption is wrong. In a share you are joint employers. You can't expect to be insulated from the burdens of the entire share, while also benefiting from that joint employer status. Want to be separate employers? Ignore the laws on OT, but don't be surprise when your nanny asks both families to pay at least minimum wage EACH.


Thanks, I'm a nanny, and I appreciate the information

Each employer should pay at least minimum wage, imo.

The law disagrees with you. There has been plenty of discussion around that.

Re: title of the thread, we had a joint contract in our share.
