Overtime and Babysitters, Nannies, and Domestic Help

PayMyOvertime.com is a free content website providing information to educate the working public about their rights when they work overtime. This is a general guide, and in no way meant to replace the advice of a qualified attorney of law.

Nannies and babysitters who regularly work over 20 hours per week in someone’s home taking care of their child or children are entitled to overtime pay when they work more than 40 hours in a week. It does not matter if you have been put on a “salary” or not. That “salary” must be reduced to an hourly rate and you are due time and a half for all hours over 40 that you work in a given week.
