[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oh my you all wouldn't make it in Los Angeles! It's overtime after 8 hrs a day. My nanny (and I only have one. I love her, my children LOVE her, my DH loves her. She's been with us 3 years) works 12 hours a day, sometimes 15 hours (about 2 to 3 times a week). She gets overtime after 8 hours, which is legal. My nanny works very hard. She cares for my children, helps them grow and succeed in life. Why would I not pay her? [/quote]

We don't pay our nanny overtime after 8 hours and the payroll service we use has never suggested that we do.  We are in California as well.  Are you sure your information is correct?  [/quote]

Definition of Overtime

In California, overtime is any hours worked over 8 hours in a day or 40 hours in a week.  There is an exception if your company has instituted a bona fide alternate work week in which you normally work 10 hour days, 4 days a week – in which case the overtime is after 10 hours rather than 8, but still after 40 in the week.  This alternate work week must meet certain formalities and can not be done on a person by person basis.

Unless you meet an Exemption, California requires that all hours over 8 in a day or 40 in a week or worked on the 7th consecutive day of a work week be paid at 1.5 times an employee’s regular rate of pay.  In addition, hours worked over 12 in a day or hours over 8 worked on the 7th consecutive day in a week are paid at 2 times an employee’s regular rate of pay.
