[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny usually works 9 hour days, so we credit her with 9 paid hours for each PTO day.  That way, she won't earn less than her usual guaranteed pay in a week where she uses PTO.  However, if her total hours credited for a week exceed the usual 45 that we guarantee, she won't get paid at the usual time and a half rate for hours 46, 47, 48 etc. unless she has actually worked more than 40 hours that week.  One could argue that using her PTO costs her money because she gets paid for hours above the guaranteed 45 at her straight time rate rather than her OT rate.  However, there is no legitimate basis for offering time and a half here because she hasn't endured the hardship of an unusually long work week.[/quote]

Your situation sounds fine to me. Its if you're talking about a nanny who works the same amount of hours each week, that are otherwise guaranteed, but on weeks where she takes PTO you pay her less, that would bother me as a nanny. If I usually work 45 hours, and nothing was different except I took Friday off, I would expect my normal pay. If I usually work 45 hours, took 9 hours off on Monday, but worked an extra 3 hours Friday night, I would not expect OT for those 3 hours. [/quote]
