[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do live-in nannies not get overtime pay for working over 40 hours? I know some states they do, but only after 44hrs. When you are a live-in your pay is usually less any way because they factor room and board into salary. Why does the government penalize live-in's even more?[/quote]

[b]Because when this was in formal discussion, the legislative committee (Kathleen Webb? and other business owners) of the International Nanny Association (INA) were silent.[/b] Someone please tell us how they get away with that. They not only do NOTHING to help nannies, they PRETEND to be a voice FOR nannies. They are a FRAUD, from what we can see.

[b]INA figures the less parents need to pay the nanny, the more money there is for the nanny agencies (and the other ruthless businesses who take advantage of overwhelmed parents) to charge astronomical fees.[/b] [/quote]

Are you serious? When this law was passed in 1974 it extended protections to domestics for the first time. Maybe not as far as you think is fair, and that's fine. You can work the system and try to change it. However the INA didn't exist when this was done - a good reason to be silent - and I doubt most of its members were born or were in grammar school.
