[quote=Anonymous]New nanny here. My new job started this week, in a nanny share. I did a lot of research and learned that it is important to have guaranteed hours each week. When I interviewed I was told they would need me 45 hours per week, therefor I earn 5 hours of overtime each week. Seems straightforward enough.

Next week one of the the kids will be out for one day (vacation) and the other will be out for half a day (doctor appointment). My expectation was that I would make the same amount that week as any other. The families' expectation is that I will only be paid for the first 40 hours, not the additional 5.

This is what my contract says:

Compensation: Nanny will be paid $X per hour for the first 40 hours of service. Additional hours will be paid at 1.5x the regular hourly rate. 
Guaranteed Hours: Nanny will be paid for all hours for which she is prepared to work, including days the family chooses not to use her.

It also goes into other details but these seem like the ones that matter. I feel that because I am prepared to work 45 hours, have made myself available to them, then I am to be paid for those hours. Did I read this wrong?

I am also suspicious that NF2 did this intentionally. The appointment is only scheduled for 45 minutes but they are choosing to have DC2 nap at home after the appointment, then drop DC2 to me mid-day.[/quote]
