[quote=Anonymous]I'm the one who posted about the blended rate. That's done explicitly to *comply* with the law, not to break it. You MUST pay time-and-a-half for overtime. In our case, the number of regular hours and overtime hours are spelled out in the contract, and the rate for each is based on that ($20 and $30, respectively). However, from our nanny's perspective, what she cares about is the average rate per hour--which is $22, in our particular case (36 regular hours, 8 over-time hours, rounded up). What would be scamming her would be offering her to pay $22 an hour and then asking her to work more than eight hours a day at the same rate. Which is why we don't do that. We use the blended rate because it's simpler for everyone involved, but obviously if you don't have set hours or are just more comfortable working with two separate rates, that's fine too. At the end of the day, what matters is that everyone understands what the actual rates are.[/quote]
