But op you're being BEYOND a doormat for not only not saying about anything over 5 minutes but ALSO not demanding extra pay for it.

That is incredibly passive aggressive and childish of you. Why don't you act like an adult and speak to her?

Lol oh believe me it's been discussed more than once. And like I said before she is a wahm. She will come downstairs late because she decided she wanted to wash her hair really quick or decided to exercise and then will throw hints to see if I can stay a little longer because she needs to shower after her w.o. most of the times she is on the phone. Ice been looking for other jobs. Nannies have lives too

Its not tit for tat... you sound like a very foolish employee. She employes you to maintain her job, and her income pays you. You make her lose her job, you lose your job too. She is working, not coming from a yoga class or errands. 5 minutes is a petty complaint.

How inconsiderate.

He should pay you AND call/text you to let you know.

You deserve to know what time you are getting off.

Your time is just as valuable as anyone else's.

Just because you are his child's nanny does not mean that your time is worth less than his.

Talk to him about it. I know I can't always get out on time, but that is the reason for a nanny. She is very flexible knowing I could be home between 5:30-6:30 depending on my nasty boss who does not care my nanny needs to go home and I have kids. We pay for anything over 5:30 (when I should get home) and I call as soon as I guess I'm late).

This is SUCH a big pet peeve of mine. My DB is also usually the first one home and was really good all summer about being home on time and then for the last two week was late a lot with no notice. ....?

Yes you should be paid for that time at your regular hourly rate (or OT rate if it's more than 40 hours). He also should be considerate and give you a heads up and ask if it's ok. How long have you been working for him? If you've been with this family for a long time and these 2 weeks have been unusual you could cut him a little slack, although you should still be paid for that time. If you just started working and he's always been at least 30 minutes late then you need to talk to him about extending your hours (if that is ok with you) and most definitely about paying you for that time.

-MB who always texts the nanny if I might be late

Absolutely you should talk to him. Either way you should be paid, but it might make more sense to permanently extend your hours if this will be a routine issue.

He's not being at all respectful of your time and you should not let that go on. If you don't address it now it will get harder to deal with.

Good luck.

My working hours are 8am-5pm. For the past two weeks my boss has been coming late sometimes 30 min other times a whole hour, and he doesnt even call me to give me a heads up about him being late. Should i be getting paid extra for that time? What do you guys think? I think he should just extend my working hour to 6-630 pm if he thinks hes still going to be consistently late.
