[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've done extensive research on this and there doesn't seem to be a clear answer.  Even the big nanny tax companies disagree on this.

Would be interesting to see if anyone ever takes a case to court what the ruling would be.  [/quote]

How dumb can you be.

The families are getting together to split the cost, the nanny is earning $18 an hour. I mean it really takes a certain kind of dumb to think she isn't getting minimum wage.

If I rent a room in a house and me and all the roommates get together to hire someone to mow the law for $20, we each pay $5 would we be breaking the law? Come on grow a brain.[/quote]

OK, smart one, I bow to you.

The issue is that some people argue that each family has to pay minimum wage because they are individual employers. They give the nanny separate checks and separate W-2's at the end of the year, thus making them separate employer. Others argue that the "joint employer" law applies to nanny shares.

As I said, it's a grey area.  Call up the three biggest Nanny Tax Companies.  The people who do this for a living.  1 of them will tell you that it's fine for each family to not pay minimum wage.  The other 2 will tell you that each family has to pay minimum wage.  [/quote]

I don't need to call a "nanny tax company" (ps that phrase carries no weight for me, you act like they are the IRS) because I have common sense. I already described to you another situation which is exactly like this that has been going on for years and is obviously again common sense. The hourly wage earned by the nanny needs to be above minimum wage, that is it. She is working two jobs simultaneously, you are splitting her cost. You are not employing a nanny for below minimum wage while the other family is simultaneously doing the same, she is taking two children into her care for $18 an hour, the nanny doesn't care if one family pays it or both. If it's such a confusing grey area for you then why don't you just have one family pay her (one employer) and the other family can just reimburse the first family for adding their child to the nannies list of duties, SIMPLE[/quote]
