[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MB here.  Here's a helpful tip that I learned on this board when you are drawing up your contract. Decide what you want to pay hourly, i.e 18/hr average for 50 guaranteed hrs a week ($900/week). But for the purposes of putting in the contract and making sure that you are compliant with the law, the first 40 hours are paid at ~$16.30 and the last ten hours at ~$24.50. Make sense? [/quote]

Yeah a helpful tip in cheating your nanny  :roll:  A job worth $18/hour is not worth less because you don't like the idea of paying OT. Nannies should not put up with this crap! If I say my rate is $18/hour, that's precisely what I mean, and if you want more than 40 hours per week I expect to be compensated accordingly, at $27/hour for each subsequent hour. Why else would anyone work 50-60 hours per week, if it didn't amount to a a significantly higher amount of money? Jobs requiring 50 hours should cost more!! [/quote]

98% of nannies are overpaid anyways so most would be excited to get over $15 per hour. Only the true professionals with the education, certifications and experience are worth it.[/quote]
