[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]umm, my nanny is salaried.  She gets so much a week no matter whether her bus is late or she is off because we at the doctor or out of town.  This salary is based on an hourly wage (19 an hour) and her hours are set 8-4.  But If she stays till 5:00 once a month I'm not paying time and a half.  If she comes to work at 8:30 because she was stuck in traffic, I'm still paying her the same weekly rate.  I don't see how this is illegal.  My husband doesn't get overtime.[/quote]

No, your nanny has guaranteed hours. You pay her for 40 hours a week regardless of whether you have chosen not to use her services.

Legally, nannies are supposed to be paid for every minute worked. There are apps for tracking hours. However, many families and nannies agree to "let it go" because after tracking hours they discover that Nanny was a total of 2.5 hours late over the course of a month, and parents were a total of 2.75 hours late during the same month. The issue comes in when one side or the other starts adding up a lot of "late" time that stops balancing out. [/quote]
