| Our nanny had Monday off but she offered to come in because I had some business travel. So, I'm trying to figure out what sort of hours to pay her for. She works a 45 hour week for us generally but doesn't get overtime pay when it's not actually worked (like a holiday). So, this week she actually worked 42 hours, so do I pay her 40 hours of regular, 2 hours of overtime, and then 10 extra hours of regular for the holiday pay? |

| Sure. Ask her if your accounting is correct. |

| Does your contract specify holiday pay? I was surprised to find out that time & a half for national holidays is not legally required. |

| Our contract specifies that she only gets overtime rate for weeks in which overtime is actually worked. So for most holidays, assuming we don't ask her to come in, she gets her regular pay rate. |

| It doesn't seem like there is a written agreement. That's why we have the dilemma. |

| Yes OP, you only pay overtime for actual hours worked over 40 hours in a given week. So it sounds to me that you pay for the holiday, and for all actual hours worked (including treo hours at overtime rates.) |

| If Monday was a guarenteed holiday for her, she should get 40 hours of regular pay, 10 hours of regular pay for PTO, and two hours of OT for working extra. If Monday was not part of her contractual PTO, just an extra day off you were paying due to guarenteed hours, then she gets 48 hours of regular pay and 2 hours of PTO. |
