[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My legal status and pay are irrelevant to this post... I am an American citizen though and they never suggested a contract. The whole point of my post was that I just didn’t want to work late. And jeez being a lousy member of society? Oh Crime me a river please, and tell me again how horrible I am. I’m such a terrible person just because I don’t have taxes withheld [/quote]

You’re not a terrible person.  But those of us who are law abiding have a difficult time slamming your employers for not being law abiding (by not paying you OT) when you fall into the same category (by not paying taxes).  It’s unfortunate that they’re taking advantage of you, but the point is that when a nanny makes it known that s/he is willing to skirt the laws (by not being in the country legally/not paying taxes/engaged in any other form of deceit or cheating) in any way, s/he does her/himself a terrible disservice - the nanny families may think that they can then cheat the system (paying under the table/not paying overtime), too.  It’s a cycle.[/quote]
