[quote=Anonymous]Hi, everyone. Just had a conversation with my nanny that made me realize we may not be on the same page in terms of when the clock starts. I'm not sure if I should discuss this with her or let it go. We live in MD suburbs while she lives in DC so she takes the metro in. We live 3 miles from the station and there is a bus to the house but my husband goes the extra mile (literally!) to pick her up and bring her home. Before leaving today she casually mentioned that she had worked a certain number of hours and for each day she was quoting one hour more than what I had calculated. I realize she is counting starting from when she arrives at the station and I'm counting from when she enters and leaves my house. So, just to explain it more clearly, if she arrives at the station at 7 but then my husband goes to get her and she shows up at my house at 7:30, she starts counting her hours from 7. I wouldn't make such a big deal about it but because she works 40+ hours, these additional hours are paid as OT and so the difference in pay is enough to make me pause. Has anyone dealt with this? Am I wrong?

And while we're on the subject, if my nanny's hours are, say, 8 to 7 and she arrives 30 minutes early, am I obligated to pay her for that time? She's not doing childcare at that point just hanging out because I'm not ready for her until I tell her I will be (8 am!).

Thanks![/quote]
