OP, I want to tell you that this advice has been debunked a hundred times over. Use one of the nanny payroll company websites to check out their free articles on nanny pay. Much better to take advice from someplace that handles these issues regularly then to rely on one person's opinion.

+1. I'm an MB and I'd strongly recommend researching this yourself because there is a lot of misinformation here. You DO legally have to pay nanny OT for any hours she works over 40.

I work for one of the tax preparation companies in the NoVa area, I can tell you for fact that nannies are not legally entitled to OT that is higher than their base hourly pay. To make things simple let's assume the nanny is earning $10 an hour for simplicity. If she works 40 hours a week that is $400. If she works 50 she has made $500, 60 hours is $600 and so on. Nannies are not entitled to an OT rate at 1.5x, so she won't be earning $15 an hour no matter how many hours she is working.

Thanks.

Don't tell us which office you work for, or they'd fire you for spouting your nonsense.

Ladies, this person is a troll. You can stop trying to reason with them. Whoever it is, they are identifiable by their habit of stirring up trouble on one thread then bumping old hot button threads. Notice all the really old threads alive again? Just ignore her and her old tired threads.

I think she meant the person saying nannies DON'T get OT.

Sorry but your link has no laws or links to state statutes. That like sending a link saying you must give 2 weeks notice. That is just a societal thing, it's not law.

We're hiring a summer nanny for the first time and I want to make sure I'm following all the US labor laws. Is there a law that stipulates that you pay time and a half overtime, or is that just something that employers offer as a benefit. I can't seem to find the answer to this anywhere.

Yes it is required you pay OT after 40 hrs work.
