[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If you guarentee 50 hours, you can pick a reasonable weekly salary and calculate the base and OT rate. If you guarentee a reasonable rate for 40 hours, you are likely to need to guarentee the same base rate as your average rate would otherwise be. That's makes your OT rate significantly higher.[/quote]

This isn't going to make a difference. I calculate the base and OT rate on a reasonable amount for 50 hours a week.

$650 for 50 hrs/weekly = $13 average per hour. The base for this is probably around $11.75 and the OT would be around $17.25. You can offer to guarantee 40 at the base rate of 11:50 which would be $470 a week. You could also guarantee hours by just putting in the contract that you will guarantee at least $500 per week. You can also just give the nanny the difference if she doesn't work enough hours. [/quote]

This is exactly the PPs point. If you are only guaranteeing 40 hours, the nanny/housekeeper would expect a higher base rate than 11.50/hour[/quote]
