[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry. Employed by 2 or more employers.

If someone works ft at Starbucks and ft at McDonalds, the 2 employers don't get to pay less because their employee works for them both, right?[/quote]
You are right. Each employer must pay the employee minimum wage, at least.[/quote]

That's not correct. Minimum wage us about how much the employee is being paid per hour, not who pays her.  The analogy doesn't apply because presumably no one is working for Starbucks and mcdonalds during the same hours.[/quote]
What evidence do you have?[/quote]

I think the burden is on you to find evidence otherwise. There is zero precedent for an hourly worker being able to work two separate jobs at the exact same time. It just doesn't make any sense. A nanny in a share has one job with multiple employers.

Seeing as how you pay her separately, and both families are considered employers, I would think that both families would have to meet the legal requirements of employing someone; ie. both must pay employer taxes, both must have a worker's comp policy, etc. Why would minimum wage be any different? You're right, it is a unique situation, and there likely isn't a precedent but generally a nanny in a share is treated as having 2 jobs by the government, and I don't see why this would be different.
