[quote=Anonymous][quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]I do pay her full OT rate if I am late. Other family has 1 kid vs our 2 so the contract specifies a slightly lower rate for OT for them but it is based on a specified 1 child rate. OT applies for anything worked over normal joint share schedule even if one family was out of town for part of the week.

She has 1 job since the hours overlap 99 pct of the time for her employers. This would make total sense in a nanny split but not in a share since her rate for a given hour would be double min wage.  [/quote]

She has ONE job, and TWO employers.

EACH employer must pay her at least minimum wage if they are going to pay legally.

It's not rocket science.

It's going to make LEGALLY PAID nanny shares less cost effective, because the TWO employers will eventually be paying $12.50 EACH, which kind of defeats the purpose of a nanny share, i.e., saving money.

So nanny shares will dissolve and parents will choose daycare if that's all they can afford, or nanny share employers will offer illegally low wages, or each nanny share employer will choose to hire their own NEW nanny and will pay minimum wage or close to it. That means parents will be struggling to find affordable childcare, and more nannies will be struggling to find work that pays a living wage.[/quote]

Please refer to the actual law at:

https://www.osha.gov/pls/epub/wageindex.download?p_file=F8764/wh1057.pdf

Specifically the portion that states:  "In discharging the joint obligation each employer may, of course, take credit toward minimum wage and overtime requirements for all
payments made to the employee by the other joint employer or employers."

In other words, what you are, and other anonymous posters are saying is simply not true. The minimum base rate must be minimum wage between the two employers. Note, I'm not saying this is a good, market, or acceptable rate. But it's legal. [/quote]
