[quote=Anonymous]Per IRS regulations, nannies are all hourly employees. Since you’re a diplomat, I’m not sure how the taxes work. I believe you are still subject to hourly wage laws. For your own protection, it would be good to have a written schedule, and rates for regular and overtime hours. If she’s responsible for the kids 120 hours a week, then her hourly rate is a little over $11/hr, and OT rate is time and a half. Many people pay a salary and call it “guaranteed hours.” You still need to have an hourly wage and overtime rate sorted out. You’d be wise to pay the overtime rate for additional weekend hours. If she is happy with the arrangement, then do what works for you. A common split for vacation is 2 weeks paid, with one week of nanny’s choosing and one week of employers’ choosing. I get 10 paid holidays per year, but you should do what works for you. [/quote]
