[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I ask our nanny to babysit I am required, by law, to pay her at overtime rates. That is prohibitive for us so we don't use her for babysitting. It has nothing to do w/ her - she's terrific, but what we would legally be required to pay her is roughly double what we can pay someone else. It's the difference between getting out w/ my husband or not quite frankly.[/quote] Again, false. Different jobs, different rates, not the same employment. Nanny could work 40 hours for you, but if you ask her to come back in 3 hours on a Friday so you guys can catch a late movie you could pay her $10 an hour and that's it, no overtime needed.[/quote] We've asked our nanny tax people to weigh in on the subject and they said it has to be paid at overtime rates. So we don't ask the nanny to babysit at night, and use a neighborhood sitter at $15/hr. Works for us. [/quote]
