[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people are getting way too hung up on the (legal) eight hours without pay. Either the total payment is enough for the total hours worked, or it's not. Structuring the pay this way actually works to the nanny's advantage as she essentially gets a bonus every time she has to work at night. If the same daily rate was structured as 24 hours worth of pay, the pay would remain the same even with a night waking.

That's not to say its a high enough rate. I have no idea. But the structure of the rate shouldn't be a turn off to anyone who thinks it through.[/quote]

The scenario you present is fine.   Buut it appears OP's limit is 20 an hour with no 8 hr pay.   From her posts, it doesnt appear ops budgrt allows for your reasonable solution

You're missing the point.  If she's not allowed to leave during those 8 hrs and do as she pleases, she is working at night.  If my boss says that from the hours of 10pm - 7am I am not being paid but I'm expected to be in the house and behaving responsibly (i.e. not kicking back with some wine) and cannot leave in case the baby wakes up, I would expect to be paid since I am on call.

So you'd prefer a job where you make $20/hr for 24 hours to one where your pay was structured as $30/hr for 16 hours with 8 hours of unpaid sleep time? Because it's the same overall pay. The second way just allows the possibility of more pay if you actually have to wake up.[/quote][/quote]
