[quote=nannydebsays]Unless you have more than 3 kids, $17/hour gross is an great rate.

Write down her hours for her again in a letter outlining the discussion you had with her. I would add something like:

To clarify for you, your hours are 8 am - 6 pm. We pay you for 10 hours per day unless WE ask you to come in early or stay late. We do not want or need you to start work at 7:15 am, and we will not pay you for any time you choose to volunteer to work before 8 am.

You are welcome to come to our home at 7:15 if you have to do so due to a transportation issue, but we expect you to sit, relax, and read or listen to music until you are officially "on the clock".

Document EVERYTHING, so that you will have your house in order if she takes you before the wage and labor board.

(I do hope you have a contract that outlines her hours as well as her straight time and overtime rates? If not, and she works more than 40 hours a week and is paid $17 for every hour with no OT, you are likely going to be facing a claim before the wage and labor board!)

And if she tries to bully you into paying her extra again, I suggest you start looking for a new nanny. Heck, you might as well start looking now, because once your "nanny" realizes she can't bully you any more she may just quit.

Good Luck![/quote]
