[quote=Anonymous]1) I think you need to discuss if the only family wants all the "perks" of a share or just some drop off care. If they want to be a true share partner, then I think they do need to guarantee hours. If, on the other hand, they just want occasional care, I think thats fine as well. But I think they have to be willing to basically give up having equal say in the plans, scheduling, etc, and just have their kid go with the flow. The latter case would truly be more of a favor from you to your friends, with the nanny getting most, if not all, of anything extra that is paid.

2) This answer is less of an opinion and more just facts! OT rates are on a weekly basis and not attached to any particular hours. In a situation where there is a differential rate, the OT rate is calculated on an "average base rate." Basically, you calculate the entire base rate earned and divide by the amount of hours. You then use this average base rate to calculate the owed OT. In practicality this means that your nanny's OT is now going to be higher than what it is when she just worked for you, no matter whose hours put her into OT. Legally, this OT is what she is owed. As far as who pays it, it would make sense that the family who used the OT would pay the entire OT charge on top of their normal base rate portion.[/quote]
