Can you imagine negotiating pay with a new employer, and having them pull this? For example, say your rate is $50/hour. You and your employer agree to this. Then, when they draw up the contract for the 50 hours, they say, "Look! We ARE paying overtime. Well, yeah, the total is $50 * 50 hours, but we fudged the numbers to make it work."

Yes. Average hourly rate of $15 hr for a 50 hr work week. Before you get all twitchy about me not paying time and a half: we do. Base rate is $13.66, OT is that times 1.5. Week is consistently 50 hrs and if it goes over, we pay the OT rate.

Not all employers, and not all nannies, are so stupid that they can't understand this arrangement.


This is what we do too, except with a higher average rate. It is very common when the employer guarantees more than 40 hours a week. In fact, it was my nanny who informed me that this is how things are done when overtime is guaranteed.

Not all nannies are so stupid to fall for this arrangement in the first place. If an employer offers me a $15/hour job, I expect to be paid $15/hour, not $13.66. Only in the nanny industry do employers try to pull this nonsense.


Only in the nanny industry do non-exempt hourly employees expect to get guaranteed overtime pay even in weeks when they don't work at all.

Also how we do it. All nannies we interviews spoke in terms of a weekly rate not hourly.
