[quote=Anonymous]Guaranteed hours are great for both sides.  You know that you don't have to scramble last minute to find someone to fill in because nanny needed more money for her bills, she knows how much (minimum) she is getting per week.

If you asked her to come in before the set schedule, you pay for those hours.  If she left early because you said she was done for the day, you pay for the hours.  However, if she asks for hours off, it comes out of PTO/vacation hours, and she can't require you to pay overtime for the week for those (unless the normal schedule has overtime).

It sounds like you had the normal schedule, asked for two mornings to be an hour early each.  Ok, so you're at 42 hours, which is overtime for 2.  But, she asked for 2 hours early two days, so that takes you back down to 38.  Guaranteed hours only applies when the nanny is actually available and willing to work the required hours, and she wasn't, so you are only obligated to pay for 38.  If the nanny wants to use 2 PTO hours to bring the weekly total up to 40, that's her prerogative, but you don't have to pay more than 38 as it stands now.[/quote]
