[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry. You are nuts. A job paying $750/wk for 50 hours is paying the same amount whether you discuss the average rate, weekly rate, base rate, or OT rate. If you accept this job, you have no basis to complain unless you are not paid the proper rate for your 51st hour.

Becoming aware of the OT requirement doesn't mean you suddenly deserve to earn more or that you are not bring paid enough. It means you now know how to describe your pay in a different way.

Mb's didn't make up the concept of averages. It's 4th grade math.[/quote]

You did make up the term "average rate" when it comes to an hourly rate. Any other hourly job in any other (better regulated) industry would not try to pass off skirting OT as an "average rate". They discuss your hourly rate, and everyone knows OT pays time and a half. If you aren't skirting OT, why not just state the actual hourly rate, and the fact that you will pay time and a half for OT? Because then suddenly your job wouldn't be nearly as attractive. Nannies are concerned about consistency in their weekly income, yes, but we also know that there are market rates for certain jobs, and $10-$12/hour is probably below that market. If I'd charge you $18/hour for your job, I'm not going to accept $10/hour so that OT doesn't hurt you as much. I'm just not. I understand averages, and did just fine in my math classes. How'd you do in ethics?[/quote]
