[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can't' seem to find anything on this topic. We have a nanny - 40 hours guaranteed, etc. Friends are looking to do a share with us but only 2 days week which is perfect for us as we still want all the perks of a full time (few errands, baby laundry, etc). My questions are:

1. Should they have to do guaranteed hours also (i.e. pay for Tues/Thurs whether or not they use her) or do we just pay our regular one child rate on the times they don't use her?
2. We only ever need 40 hours (9 - 5). In the case of them needing more than 8 hours say on a Tuesday, that would push us into an OT rate on Friday. It doesn't seem fair if that is the case so is it legal that whichever family causes the OT have to pay that?

1.  Yes guaranteed hours.  I believe all nannies should have them, even if it's 1 day a week.

2.  There are a couple of ways to handle this, but this way would be pending nanny's agreement.  You pick up your kid at 5, other family takes over full pay (ie what she would be paid for a normal hourly wage) for the rest of the time.  This is obviously the least complicated way but nanny and other family have to agree to the rate if your kid is not there.

The other way would be for you to keep your DS there later, and then pay OT at the end of the week.  The OT pay is then subtracted from what you owe the following week and added onto other family's tab the following week (and however many weeks it takes to make up the difference). Much more complicated and puts a lot of trust into the other family. [/quote]
