[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The IRS treats nannyshare families as joint employers, not as individual employers. So you must pay at least $13.25 combined, not $13.25 per family.[/quote]

This is incredibly bad advice. Each family in a nanny share is an employer. Both families need to get EINs and pay at least minimum wage, pay overtime, get workers' comp, etc.

BTW, in a nanny share families should pay 2/3 of the nanny's typical rate. A nanny share adds more work for the nanny (dealing with 2 employers) and should be compensated accordingly. If a nanny usually makes $24/hour then each family should pay $16/hour.[/quote]

The link to the regulations has already been provided. As stated, joint employment regulations actually help the employee. It protects against loss of overtime, vacation, and other benefits if the employers don’t properly coordinate. It also means that both employers are equally liable for contracted pay. So, for example, if one family leaves without contracted notice or doesn’t pay, the other employer is still liable.[/quote]
