[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to be paid for straight ime for every hour worked, OP.  You pay her for 50 hours.[/quote]

Actually, that's not true.  OP could pay overtime, and many live-in nannies won't take a position that doesn't do overtime.  However, it's not required unless they live in a state or city which required overtime for live-in domestic help, and the number of hours can be more than 40 (ex: NY is 44 at normal rate and anything beyond is overtime, if I remember correctly).[/quote]

In VA you must for straight time for ALL hours worked by live in domestic.  O know because I have a live-in and if she works on weekends, we pay her extra for those hours.  Truthfully, this year I am going to pay her 1.5 for OT because it is the. Fair and decent thing to do.[/quote]

Nope, in VA if it's a live in you don't have to pay extra for overtime. You pay regular rate for however many hours (50 for example) , not 1.5 times the rate.  That's the legal requirements. If you choose to pay more - that's your choice, but it's not mandatory.[/quote]
