[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The only way a blended rate benefits a nanny is if she enters a job knowing her hours will drop in the next 3 - 6 months. Then agreeing to 1000/week and a "blended rate" of $20/hour for 50 hours is better than insisting on ($18 X 40) + ($27 X 10), as long as the employers stick with the $20/hour when they cut her overtime hours in 3 months. IOW, .1% of the time a blended rate might benefit nanny. The other 99.9% of the time it is a cheat tactic. Oh, wait. If a nanny gets fired and had a blended rate contract she might be able to collect unpaid OT through the wage and labor board when she leaves the job. Does that count as a benefit?[/quote] If the base rate and ot rate are spelled out in the contract, it's not illegal. It is less than the nanny asked for, but it's a legal counteroffer, which she is allowed to turn down.[/quote]
