[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I came over here from seeing your post on general parenting.

You need to establish two rates: a two-child rate and a one-child rate. Each of these will have its own overtime rate as well (time-and-a-half).

For Mon-Thurs (40 hrs) the nanny earns the two-child standard rate. On Friday she earns the one-child overtime rate.

Both families split the Mon-Thurs down the middle, unless there are other circumstances that would lead to a different arrangement.

If you don't like it, find another share or find another family that needs Friday coverage so you can split the cost of that day. [/quote]

21:13 again. I just wanted to point out that although this seems logical and fair, it's not legal. The nanny has to get paid a blended OT rate. (Which, in this instance will be very close to the 2 child rate for OT). Again, the families can split the responsibility for paying  the nanny as they wish, but the nanny's documented total hourly payments need to be on a blended basis.

It's funny, the joint employment distinction usually comes up in the context of minimum wage, where it would seem like a detriment to nannies. But this is actually the sort of situation it was meant for. I.e., in order to prevent OT abuse. Not that anyone is trying to screw the nanny in this case, but, by using the system above you are not giving her all the OT to which she is entitled. There's no logical reason, from her point of view, the Friday hours are the OT ones instead of a different day.[/quote]
