Google "IRS Publication 926". Nannies are non-exempt household employees.

Federal law says you are non-exempt. Parents can't change that by making you sign something that says otherwise.

In NY, you are a hourly worker. Even if you get a salary. They have to provide you every week with the hours you worked. You are a non-exempt employee and need to be paid for every hour, and entitled to overtime over 40hrs.

They are just trying to get out of paying overtime.

You are right to hesitate.

You should be certain to have a document that spells out your hourly rate, your overtime rate, and - if applicable - the guaranteed number of hours, benefits, holidays, etc...

You cannot be an exempt employee.

I was giving a paper to sign from my employers payroll office to sign. It states that I am an EXEMPT employee and I make $--,--- a year.

My belief is that all nannies (who make under 100k) are non-exempt employees. Does this make any difference in anything? Should I just sign it? I'm in NY, and nannies are hourly employees.
