OT ?

How can you say OT is the Law and then also expect that you are guaranteed the OT even if you don't work it?
Only 40 hours has to be guaranteed.

Ugh -- waive not wave!

You are not beholden to their schedule 365 days per year. At least one week per year of vacation is yours to choose. You should also get holidays and sick days. This is a full-time job just as with a corporate job.

No, any times that you are committed/agreed to work are guaranteed.

Right. But they could lower her hourly rate then do OT to get the same amount. Problem with this idea is that if for some week they onlyneed 40 hours for some reason then you get your pay cut, If you accept it without OT they can't reduce your pay by 5 hours because Grandma is in town and they don't need you one day.

That is why guaranteed hours are standard. Employers are reserving your time and paying for it.

+1. All 45 hours should be guaranteed. And I agree with the first poster: overtime is not for the nanny to wave.

+2. Absolutely.

That’s based on your contract and agreement. I would not agree to that but know someone else that does. I guarantee my availability and you pay for that.
