[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would talk to the owner of your current nanny agency.

I would think it would be illegal for the agency to allow families to skip out on OT pay for more than 40 Hrs. a week of work.

I know for a fact that "reputable" nanny agencies are promoting this illegal gimmick to naive nannies. Shame on them.[/quote]

It's not illegal to break it down into regular and OT rates...why does this bug you so much?[/quote]
In a written contract, you must have an hourly pay rate.

In compliance with federal law, anything beyond 40 hours per week is OT.

Right- so what families do, as PP said, is 
[quote=Anonymous]
Family is offering a $1000/week for 50 hours. Some people prefer to say it's $20/hr but you can also break it down like this to make it legal with the OT rate-

Regular rate (40 hours)- $18.19- $727.20 
OT Rate (10 hours)- $27.28- $272.80 [/quote]

What's illegal about that?

Why the devious shananagins? No need to turn your simple pay rate into anything so complicated with such explanations of your "preference." Only desperate or illegal sitters will fall for that nonsense, and you know it. Better to speak the truth, you should know.[/quote]

There's nothing devious about it. "Nanny, we're offering $1000 a week. It will break down as the following... and any additional hours over the 50 will, of course, also be paid at $27.28 an hour" Nanny knows what she's making per week, family know what they are paying. You are suggesting that nanny's are not smart enough to work with decimals? [/quote]
As said, only desperate or illegal people would go for that convoluted nonsense.[/quote]

I know! Math is so Hard![/quote]
