[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see how it would be legal. In the eyes of the law you are each her employers individually, hence both parties having their own EIN and filing your own taxes. I would think you are both also required to pay at least minimum wage. [/quote]
This is correct. Uncle Sam doesn't care about what your girlfriend is paying her. The government is looking at YOUR payment history, not your friend's, and how it adds up.[/quote]

You know, you really should stop spreading this misinformation around several threads. What Uncle Sam cares about is your wage. The amount you make per hour for your job. It doesn't matter if you are paid for that job by a company, an individual, two individuals, or receive your pay in unmarked small bills, your wage is what you make per hour.

Source? Zero, huh? [/quote]

I could ask you the same thing. The DOL site does not address working two simultaneous hourly paid positions because it cannot happen.  It's a bizzare enough concept that it isn't worth addressing on any nanny pay site or dol site. Yes, in a share you have two employers. Many people have multiple employers.

I challenge you to find one actual source that suggests an hourly employee can ever be on a position to be earning double minimum wage. [/quote]

In a share, do you only have to have one employer identification number or two? Do you have one worker's comp policy or two? Does the nanny receive one paycheck or two? If one family fails to pay the nanny, is the other share family on the hook for the rest? Im guessing not, since you employ her seperately. When nanny files her taxes, does she not have to file as someone with multiple jobs, and enter all of the information separately, and at the hourly wage she is paid by the individual family? In all other situations, a share nanny is treated as having to jobs, with two seperate employers. The fact that you share her time makes no difference otherwise, so I challenge YOU to find one source that indicates that an employer is off the hook for minimum wage based off of what another employer pays. You don't think it will set off some alarm bells when your nanny fills out any tax forms and her hourly wage is below minimum wage?[/quote]
