[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.

Legally, anything over 40 hrs needs to be paid time and a half.

Ignore the posters on here that will say you only have to pay OT if nanny works more than the hours specified in contract.  I.e some parents argue if the contract states a nanny works 50 hrs a week, overtime doesn't kick in until over 50 hours.  This isn't true[/quote]

Who has ever said anything like that? When you guarentee hours, of course, the OT is worked into the total guarentee amount (so 50 hours guarenteed at $10/hr - for easy math- base rate is guarenteed $550) 
You only pay $15/hr /extra/ in that example if you go over 50 hours.[/quote]

There has been a poster recently who is either confused by this, or is advocating ignoring OT all together and they have posted that nannies are only entitled to OT after their agreed upon schedule, which is simply not true. I really think MBs shouldn't be so quit to trot out the average rate trope whenever a question of rates is asked. It is unnecessarily confusing and inflammatory, and it obviously leads some to go about advertising and paying rates incorrectly. As a nanny I find the whole thing offensive to nannies who know exactly what they mean when they quote you a rate, and predatory to uninformed nannies. [/quote]
