[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all very simple. [b]I pay my nanny a flat rate of 550/wk, 52 weeks a year, which is a guaranteed 50 hrs a week at $10/hr.[/b] I have school aged children. During the school year she works a split schedule around 17hrs a week max and snow days and teacher work days. During the summer, depending on their camp schedule she works 20-50 hrs a week (maybe 3 weeks are at 50). I'm not sure what she averages over the year, but if I could take a stab at it I'd say 30hrs. She knows what she is getting and I know what I'm paying. She also has picked up babysitting jobs during the school year when she feels like it, essentially double dipping.[/quote] ? So why not pay her guaranteed hours and do the whole thing legally? Honestly, I do not understand the draw to a flat salary when guaranteed hours has the same result and is legal. [/quote] The hours are guaranteed. 50 guarantees at $10/hr. What are you missing?[/quote] That no legal nanny in her right mind takes a split shift job for $10 an hour. [/quote] A split shift at 17hrs a week for $550/wk is at a $32/hr rate. How do you not follow this? I already told you my nanny is an American citizen at birth. One thing for sure is that I could never hire a nanny without basic math skills, so there is one fact that is undisputed here, you will never work for me or anyone else who needs someone who is capable is simple division and multiplication.[/quote] LOL Sweetie, you were the one who wrote to bolded stating that you pay your nanny $550 for 50 hours a week. I have no clue who you are calling stupid!!! You wrote it. And you are correct. 50 hours at 10 an hour is $550. What are you so upset about? [/quote][/quote] It's guaranteed hours, not the hours the nanny works. Come on, read what PP actually wrote, please![/quote] I'm wondering if the person in an outrage is drunk. The $10/hr nanny is watching school aged children the majority of the year for a maximum of 17hrs (maximum to me means quite often less) During the summer it looks like she is working no more than 3 weeks at 50 and the rest of the weeks the kids are in camp. This is a part time job at $550/wk for older children. And the nanny is getting paid for 52 weeks a year, which means she is probably only actually working 49 weeks. Some people on here behave like they are having an episode of psychosis.[/quote]
