ISO advice re nanny share minimum wage

[Anonymous]

It boils down to risk. Some of you like it. Others don't. Any smart advisor explains that to you. Many of you hear what you want to hear.

I don't think it's something you specifically "do." A share with 2 families is inherently a joint employment relationship.

It actually doesn't, because the question "is nanny share a joint employment arrangement?" is a yes/no, it's not up to anyone's individual judgment. If your tax advisor states that this is a joint employment scenario, for me all speculation ends there.

Your tax advisor is obligated to obey the law, not create the law. So no, it's not up to him.

+1. I wouldn't be so quick to blindly trust your tax advisor on this issue. When I was a nanny, I had to correct more than one family's heralded tax advisors about household employment/labor laws.

Please refer to the actual law at:

https://www.osha.gov/pls/epub/wageindex.download?p_file=F8764/wh1057.pdf


Specifically the portion that states: "In discharging the joint obligation each employer may, of course, take credit toward minimum wage and overtime requirements for all
payments made to the employee by the other joint employer or employers."

You wanting the law to say a certain something isn't proof of anything.

Link doesn't work anymore, found the same guidance here:
