[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just remember that both families need to be paying at least minimum wage since you're both considered separate employers. At $26/hour, each family is paying $13/hour, which is below minimum wage in DC. You would be OK in Maryland (for now) and Virginia. Typically nanny share families pay a nanny 2/3rds of their normal rate. For example, if a nanny's rate is $21/hour, each family pays $14/hour. But you may need to boost that a bit to meet minimum wage requirements.[/quote]

This is not correct.  She needs to gross over minimum wage for the hours worked so they are well in the clear for the 2 baby rate, and the 1 baby rate at 22/hr.  What you are saying doesn't make sense since the nanny is never making under minimum wage.  [/quote]

Agreed.  It means that both employers (jointly) are liable for overtime and there is no one child rate.[/quote]

Yes. And, to add on, the overtime should really be paid at a blended rate. Not cherry picked to be on the cheaper rate. If she works 45 hours a week, you shouldn’t decide that the “extra” five hours are the ones with one child. The blended average rate if she is working 40 hours at 26$/hr and 5 hours at 22$/hr is an average of 25.56$/hr for an OT rate of $38.33. So, basically, she should get her entire blended base rate of $1150/week plus the overtime differential of $63.89 (OT rate - average pay) x 5 hours [/quote]

No, she’s paid the full amount for up to 40, then overtime on that rate.[/quote]
