[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1. Nannies are NOT salaried employees, they are HOURLY.  
2. You were sick and you do not need to mske up the time, take hours off your PTO.[/quote]
Can you please post a link to that law? TIA.[/quote]

Domestic household workers cannot legally be paid with salary but have to be paid hourly. What is generally done with a "salary" position, is they figure out an hourly rate, and if working more than 40 hours a week, then they might average it out to a single rate instead of doing a different OT rate.

So for an example, it could be 50 hours a week at $550 (40x$10/hr normal rate and 10x$15/hr OT) or 50 hours a week at $550 (averaging the hourly rate out to $11/hr - using $550 divided by 50). So if you happened to only work less than 40 hours one week, you would still be getting that $11/hr and if worked more than 50 hours, you would still only get $11/hr. The benefit is more for the employer so that extra OT hours don't cost them as much, but you do get a slightly higher pay rate for the times you stay under 40 hours a week. Usually you would get guaranteed hours with a "salary" position like this, and so there is more benefit to you, that you would always get paid that $550 no matter how many hours you ended up working that week (and then your hourly rate, in this case $11, for an extra hours you don't normally work).[/quote]
