[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every job I've advertised announces the rate I'm willing to pay. I know a lot of nannies instead want to tell the families the rate they want, but I'd rather not even interview someone who wants more than I can pay. So, I would absolutely say, in my ad, "job is 50 hours for $1000/wk, $18/hr base pay, $27/hr overtime." How is that either predatory or offensive?[/quote]

You can take a look at any number of nanny ads and you will see that they are not nearly that clear. Good for you if you are. You aren't the type we are talking about. There are lots of ads that don't specify the hours, only a weekly or hourly rate, then you waste your time interviewing and find out they only want to offer $350 for a "flexible" schedule, meaning you need to be available for any number of hours, and they want to play fast and loose with the OT laws. THAT is offensive, and it is predatory because as we all know there are lots of nannies that don't know the first thing about employment laws, while most employers are more educated and take advantage of that fact. It sickens me to see how quick MBs are to jump on here and help a fellow mom smooth talk her way out of paying OT (or as they say paying a lower base rate to "offset" the required OT). [/quote]
