As an employer, it’s important to understand how to appropriately pay your nanny (and other household workers) within the parameters set by the law. The Fair Labor Standards Act states that nannies must be paid for every hour they work, and live-out nannies are required overtime pay if they work over 40 hours a week. That means that paying your nanny a set salary stated in weekly or monthly wages is illegal; however, many families solve this problem by guaranteeing a weekly wage and stating it in FLSA compliant hourly and overtime rate language. Our payroll professionals are happy to assist you in this process.
