[quote=Anonymous]You can pay a fixed weekly rate but it needs to be based on, and set forth as, an hourly rate and you need to acknowledge that you are paying OT. We pay slightly over $1,000 per week. We usually need 50 hours per week. So, we backed out a standard hourly rate and an overtime rate based on those inputs and that's what we pay. We also guarantee hours, meaning we pay the same amount every week. I find this easier than tracking hours, and it is also a benefit to our nanny because she receives steady pay even when she doesn't work a full week (because we take a day off, or come home early, or whatever). However, we never ask her to work more than her guaranteed hours, and on the rare occasions when we are late, we kick her some extra. If you do a fixed salary, you are still paying OT. You may call it something else, but legally it has to be calculated and set forth to include OT.[/quote]
