[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Husband here of OP. We are not talking about springing anything. When we made arrangements over a month ago, we discussed flexibility. Didn't seem to be a problem.

Now when discussing an actual instance about a month away, we were met with confusion. I guess from reading the initial responses we are way off base but we did think it reasonable that the nanny may be willing to work slightly longer days the following week if needed. Not looking for a one to one of hours exchange just some understanding that life does not work on a perfect, structured schedule.

Oh well, you live and learn. [/quote]

I believe that asking to "bank" hours from one week and use them in a different week is illegal. My understanding is that any flex hours have to be used in the same pay period. For example, you could ask your nanny to be flexible and work 8 - 1 on Wednesday when her regular schedule is 8 - 3, and then ask her to stay 2 hours LATE on Thursday, working 8 - 5.

If you need more than 35 hours one week, you would need to pay her regular rate for hours 36 - 40, and her OT rate ($30/hour) for all hours over 40 that week. As a nanny with guaranteed hours, that is what I would assume you meant when asking for flexibility.[/quote]
