[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is a nanny/job worth one rate at 40 hours, but because you need overtime, she/it is now worth less? I'm sorry, but you are definitely the one full of BS. Overtime is supposed to be costly! If it wasn't, everyone would ask for 60 hours!! When I ask for $18/hour for a job I mean exactly that; $18/hour for the first 40 and $27 for anything beyond that. [/quote]

PP here who was accused of BS.

PP maybe you should try to stop being cheap and justifying it. Every family I have interviewed with quoted their base rate then mentioned how many overtime hours was needed. I get paid 18/hr BASE with time and a half, as I should. My contract then echoes the same numbers discussed, no confusion there, actually much simpler that giving some random weekly number and then trying to figure out all the numbers in the contract. And anyone else who is in ANY industry. You want your nanny to be on the legal and pay her share, but you also want to short change her illegally?! Yeah that makes perfect sense right.

If your nanny did not spend that extra 10-15 hours with you she could make her same rate helping out another family, her time does not magically cost less. [/quote]

I think you quoted the wrong person. I was defending your argument. A nanny/your job warrants the same rate, at 50 hours as she/it does at 40. [/quote]
