Actually, that's not true. OP could pay overtime, and many live-in nannies won't take a position that doesn't do overtime. However, it's not required unless they live in a state or city which required overtime for live-in domestic help, and the number of hours can be more than 40 (ex: NY is 44 at normal rate and anything beyond is overtime, if I remember correctly).


In VA you must for straight time for ALL hours worked by live in domestic. O know because I have a live-in and if she works on weekends, we pay her extra for those hours. Truthfully, this year I am going to pay her 1.5 for OT because it is the. Fair and decent thing to do.


Nope, in VA if it's a live in you don't have to pay extra for overtime. You pay regular rate for however many hours (50 for example) , not 1.5 times the rate. That's the legal requirements. If you choose to pay more - that's your choice, but it's not mandatory.

Poster said it's the "fair and decent" thing to do.
She's 100% correct.

Bump. Is it still true that line in nannies are not paid overtime in DC? Minimum wage went up recently so I want to make sure there has been no change to the overtime rule. Thanks.

You have to be paid for straight ime for every hour worked, OP. You pay her for 50 hours.

Certain cities also require it.

In DC and Virginia you don't have to pay overtime to live in nannies. If you live in Maryland however you do. Only a few states require live in nannies to be given over time pay.

Hello
We have a live-in nanny and she will be working about 50 hours a week, will we have to pay overtime for hours worked over 40 hours?
Thanks
