Has anyone looked into whether each family in the share could employ her for 25 hours per week, paying her full salary for both babies for those 25 hours, in order to avoid exceeding the overtime limits in the FLSA?
For ease of explanation, let's say nanny would otherwise get $10/hr from each family and work 50 hours per week.
Instead of paying $10 per Hour for 40 hours and $15 per hour for 10 hours, each family would pay $20/hr for 25 hours each week.
Legal?
If it is essential to your mental health to feel that you have avoided paying the woman who cares for your child OT, here's how:
1) Determine what each family would pay Nanny when following labor laws. (10 *40) + (15 * 10) = $550
2) Divide the number from step #1 by 25. 550/25 = $22/hour
3) Pay Nanny $22/hour for 25 hours/week
4) Laugh your best villainous laugh and celebrate how clever you are while drinking your favorite adult beverage.
P.S. Not legal, but no longer vile or cheap.
