[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi, we have had the same nanny for several years.  We withhold taxes and pay Social Security.  Our regular schedule is more than 40 hours, and we pay time and a half for hours over 40. We never use our nanny as a babysitter as the OT rate is so high and cost prohibitive.  We are about to hire a new nanny as ours is moving out of state. Is there any other arrangement where you pay a fixed weekly rate for the total hours planned like a salary [b]vs. paying overtime[/b] for the hours above 40 every week? Ie, could we say your weekly salary is $x for up to 45 hours or something like that since the OT hours above 40 are definitely planned in advance as part of the schedule?  [b]I am not trying to get out of OT[/b] or do anything illegal.  I am just wondering what other families do in the same situation?[/quote]

Yes, you are trying to get out of paying OT, by your own admission.

You need to pay overtime. I don't understand the appeal of these "$X for up to Y hours" arrangements. Take your budget. Figure out Y (your required weekly hours). Do some math and figure out what rate that would equate to, both for regular pay and OT.
