[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't OP know how much to make the check for? If I was OP, I'd overpay, otherwise you may get reported. Not good. Why don't you ask the nanny how much you owe her, if you don't know?[/quote]

Um...what? In the interview we told her we have paid our nannies between $300-$450/week, DOE, and that based on her experience (about 7 years as a nanny, 2 as a preschool teacher, 10 as a sitter, but obviously in the early years it was low-paying/free jobs with family and friends, which doesn't exactly cut it, lol) we would pay her between $400-$425/ week. We would normally use her about 36 hours/week (4 days/week, 9 hours/day), but we did need her for 10 extra hours this week. [/quote]

I think you answered your own question then. You take her her hours and multiply by the hourly pay rate. If you do OT for hours over 40, then calculate that. Add it up and write the check. ??? Did you not actually have an hourly pay rate? This is why you need one, it is not legal to pay salary. You can pay "salary" by figuring out an hourly rate, saying that she will normally work 36 hours each week then taking the pay rate x 36 hours = $ weekly pay. Or work BACKWARDS from the weekly rate into an hourly rate.[/quote]
