[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks all! Kids are 6 and 4.

So when you say overtime for the weekend, you mean time and a half, hourly, for every hour of the weekend? Not sure what that means exactly.

And to the $75/overnight poster....so that would be overtime (time and a half) for the waking hours beyond her normal work day, and then $75 total flat payment for the sleeping hours?

Thanks for helping me sort this out.  [/quote]

I'm the $75/night person.  Here is what we do (based on a weekend away we did last year.)

Our nanny works a 50 hr week - M-F, 8-6pm.  We went away for a long weekend (3 nights).  We paid her regular salary = via direct deposit, for both weeks.  In addition, we paid her $225 for hte nights (3 nights) and then her overtime rate for 3 hrs on Friday night (through 9 pm, a VERY outside margin for when the kids would be long since asleep), 14 hours on Saturday, and 14 hours on Sunday.  So that was 31 hours at overtime rates, in addition to the overnight flat rate.  We also gave her the day after off as a bonus vacation day (fully paid of course.)

All told it came to a little under a thousand dollars in cost and an extra day of vacation time used for us to cover the time off we gave her.  We paid her those monies by check, and didn't report it as income, so that isn't necessarily ok w/ everyone but it's a risk we were ok with taking, and it certainly meant she pocketed much more of the income. She was very happy for the extra income, the kids were well cared for and we got a nice long weekend. [/quote]
