[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I pay all OT and bonuses and I used to think everyone else did too, but the other day my neighbors were complaining about paying the full hourly wage for overnight hours, since the nanny would be sleeping during those hours (parents were going out of town). I told them actually the nanny could command time and a half since that's over her 40 hours. That hadn't even occurred to them. This is a couple who dresses their child in designer clothing. So no, nannies are not all being compensated appropriately.[/quote]

Actually, the law says the parents could pay $0 for sleeping hours (up to 8 hours in a 24-hour period). They only have to pay 1.5x for anytime she's awake with the kid.

California says that if the overnight doesn't include at least 5 hours in a row uninterrupted, the overnight waiver doesn't apply, but that's the only state I know with that rule.[/quote]

I just looked this up bc I can't quite believe it. What I read is that hours she is asleep are unpaid (up to 8), hours she's awake caring for the child are paid at the regular rate, but the unpaid hours add to the cumulative hours for the work week so once she hits 40 hours the rest of the week's hours are OT even if they wouldn't be in a normal week. So if she normally works 40 hour weeks but spends the night on Thursday, then the 8 hours she works on Friday will all be paid the OT rate.[/quote]
