[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are trying to pay a salary, which is not legal, nor is it beneficial to anyone but the employer. It is a terrible idea for a nanny, since you are paid for your time and not for the completion of any task. There is nothing to guarantee that it will all "even out", and many MANY of us have experienced the promises of getting to leave early followed by the reality of frequent late nights/early mornings. Do not even consider this position.

Unfortunately, they will find some poor sucker who will quickly see that $21/hour for 40 hours dwindle down to $15-16 for 50 hours and no overtime. [/quote]

I have worked with two families who have paid by salary. It actually is not illegal at all. I've worked for an accountant family and an attorney family. My boyfriend is an attorney and he looked over my contracts. Never once was I not paid. I was paid a weekly salary rate ( with OT) and then any additional work I did for the week was paid at my OT rate in cash. This happened with both families. I was happily paid, compensated when I didn't work, and I never once was underpaid for not compensated for hours I worked. Not all people paying salary are in it for themselves.

I am OP

This is not a salary, genius. Salary means you are paid a set weekly amount, regardless of the number of hours worked. You do not get paid more for working extra hours. You were guaranteed hours. Even if you stupidly and mistakenly want to call what you had a "salary," it still is not the situation OP described, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to post your idiocy. [/quote]

I am OP genius. Read up little one. A salary does not always mean set pay for set hours. There are ways around that. [/quote]
