...the "joint employment relationship", that is.

I posted it here for your benefit and for the benefit of others who may think each employer in the share owe at least a minimum wage. They don't. Only the total rate counts.

Thank you for posting this. Are most nannies as deceitful as the ones posting on this board? I get the feeling that they are not as dumb as they pretend to be and are trying to intentionally mislead people.

I think you're totally right. I bet at least one of those deceitful nannies here, actually has a law degree, and even passed the bar, for all we know. You think?

You are two separate employers so you each have to pay minimum wage.

No they don't, only the total rate counts.

Did you bother reading the thread? Someone already posted a link to the actual law which says otherwise. You might prefer it for each employer to pay minimum wage but that doesn't actually make it law.

You may prefer to get a great bargain nanny. After all, who wouldn't be thrilled to be driven by a master, no, "Madam", such as yourself? But that doesn't actually make it happen for real.

None of what you wrote changes what the law says. The law says only the total rate counts.

It was both Breedlove and Homework Solutions who both told me each employer had to pay minimum wage. They said each family would need to issue their own W-2, so in order to be compliant would have to pay at least minumum wage. We ended up not doing a share, so it wasn't something that I continued to research. It does seem like this might be one of those gray areas that isn't exactly clear since nanny shares are a somewhat unique.

That's strange because it was Homework Solutions who told us only the total rate counts. Why don't we post a question for webbcathy and ask her to weigh in, that seems like the way to settle this.

I think Homework Solutions also told me it was the total rate that counts. Perhaps it matters the exact degree of overlap in a share? Also sometimes nanny splits are called "nanny shares" - could that be part of the disconnect here?

We don't do a share. I pay the nanny 3 times minimum wage but that has nothing to do with this thread. My point is that you can't go around saying the law says something it doesn't. If you are going to answer a question either do your research or say that you are just giving your opinion.

To be honest, never heard of a "nanny split" before. Is this a common term?
