[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks. I have knots in my stomach preparing for this conversation. I feel more justified in broaching the lunch break issue but would to find a law that says working lunch breaks have the be paid. I looked on the DOL website and the wording was clear but I wondered if there are any rules governing household employees. Thanks again[/quote]

Not paying for a lunch break is not at all standard in the nanny world. Perhaps the best way to make them see that's it not really fair is to politely pose the question of who will come home to relieve you during your "unpaid lunch break". If they say no one will relieve you, then ask if the baby wakes up during your "lunch break" should you call them to handle it or will it be your responsibility? Are you sure you want to work for people who would even consider doing this to you OP? The cheapness is a screaming red flag to me. They clearly don't know what is standard when hiring a full time nanny and seem to lean cheap and self-serving when it comes to how they will treat you. [/quote]
