Nanny again- Any hours I work over 40 have always been and always be paid. I don’t get OT but I’m paid for every hour I work. My nanny family isn’t out to screw me over.

I guess you’re not paying taxes and neither I are your employers... awesome.

Well I guess you guessed wrong. I obviously pay taxes and I’m fine with this arrangement.

Obviously??? You are not being paid legally, period. A proper payroll will automatically covert hours past 40 into OT, it’s the law.

Actually, it’s really clear.

Monday was the holiday. She normally works m-f, like most nannies. They wanted to substitute Sunday for Monday, that way they could use all the hours. That’s not how paid holidays work.

I have signed contracts before too and they then come back to me before I even start saying they can't afford me. and dismiss the contract.

1. Negotiate before start, sign the morning you start. Contract goes into effect as you start.
2. Look for families who can actually afford nannies. Most mc can’t.
3. Any contract is enforceable, if worded correctly. It doesn’t matter if it’s the second day after my trial period when someone loses their job. My contract states that I receive 4 weeks of combined notice/severance, to be split as the parents wish. If the contract is worded correctly, it doesn’t even matter if you’re in an at will state, because you’re stating the result of their action, not what action they can take.

They think, we’ll we are paying her she should be working but yet they have no problem collecting their check for a holiday. Most ppl have no idea how to be a boss and this is just an example of that. It’s ridiculous how clueless and entitled some ppl can be.

What is wrong with getting our monies worth. Most of us at our job don't have the luxaary to take breaks when the child is sleeping or napping!

Then get a new job if that is the luxury you want. Every job has perks, that is one of them for nannies.

Some ppl just aren’t made to be a boss and it sounds like you are one of those ppl.

Yeah, no...
I don’t sleep, because I need to be aware. You’re paying for my awareness, that’s what you get. So, I’ll go clean the kitchen and then read, but I also keep the monitor, and if there’s any doubt in my mind, I check on the child. That’s what any decent nanny does.

So salty. Clearly nanny is getting the better end of the deal when she only work 20-25hrs a week. Someone is jealous????

How many times has this happened?

And if they ask you to babysit at night or in the weekend and you can’t or don’t want to just say so. Families often give the right of first refusal for sitting to their nanny.

You won't be getting Over Time btw. Call it a hunch. Let us know though.

You may not get over time, but should get paid regular pay. Often companies do not count holiday, vacation, or sick pay towards the 40 hour requirement for overtime.

+1. OT rates don't kick-in until you've actually worked 40 hours.

Federal law mandates hours WORKED over 40 are paid at time and a half. If you take a vacation or sick day the system does not pay OT as you have not performed 40 hours of work.
