[quote=Anonymous]When negotiating my new contract I asked for a section guaranteeing my hours.  It says that nanny is to be paid for any hours worked outside of the contracted schedule at the hourly rate, in addition to the guaranteed minimum weekly salary.

This is only my first week so I'm not sure how to handle it due to not having worked my first day because of a snow storm (MB told me not to come in), starting late one day, early another and staying late one day.  I work 3 days per week.

This weeks pay, in my mind, should look like this:

-Day 1: snow day (guaranteed hours)
-Day 2 + .25 (worked 15 minutes past my contracted end time, but started 30 minutes later than contracted start time)
-Day 3 + .5 (started 30 minutes earlier than my contracted start time)
Total: base salary + .75.

With guaranteed hours and guaranteed pay does this calculation look right?

Due to the first day being a paid snow day, if they only pay me the guaranteed minimum I won't say anything because I don't want to start off on the wrong foot.  Going forward I am scheduled to start 15-30 minutes early 1-2 days per week and also starting 30 minutes later 1-2 days per week (start time varies everyday within an hour due to MBs work), which will add to my base salary and I'm trying to fingered out how to calculate for future weeks.  I know this is a little convoluted but for some reason the family did not want to structure the hours with the early start time included.  If it were me I would have done the schedule like this..."earliest possible to start time" until "latest possible end time", however I don't think MB wanted to do it this way because the start and end times vary within an hour on either end and then they would've had to guarantee several extra hours per week that they may not use.  With it structured the way it is, they will only pay for extra hours on the days they need them, but only pay the base hours on the days I start late.

Ugh, this seems even more confusing when trying to explain it!
