[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely not saying that there aren't nannies who aren't paid appropriately, but you might want to make sure of what the hourly rate is if a parent quotes you a weekly or monthly rate. If they are paying, say $1,000 a week for 55 hours, the rate is not a straight $1000/55 = $18. They are probably calculating it as (40 x rate) + (15 x rate x 1.5) = $1,000. In which case the rate would be $16. [/quote]
If that's what they were doing, it'd be in the contract and there would be no confusion. Nice try.[/quote]

I'm not saying this is or isn't what anyone is doing and I don't agree that this is always specifically in the contract. You also realize that a lot of nannies don't even seem to have contracts?  I'm saying watch out for that. If an employer quotes you a rate that isn't gross hourly and guaranteed, make sure you ask questions to figure out exactly what it will mean for net pay. [/quote]

How an employer arrives at the gross rate has nothing at all to do with what that gross rate translate to in net pay.  Net pay is a function of the nanny's own tax obligations.[/quote]
This poster sounds ignorant. Your gross hourly rate is your gross hourly rate, nothing more and nothing less. Your OT is your OT.

Or is it "is", is not what you might think it "is"? Where have we heard that before?[/quote]
