Should a handover be included in working hours or separate too?

[IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece]

In my previous positions, I didn't have set finishing times, just a minimum hours contract and a time sheet! Or they rang on the way home and we had a handover then and I just ran out the door when they got in...both worked beautifully

This one, I finish at 7pm everyday according to my contract, but the parents come in at 7 then want a handover that takes about 15mins so I'm not out until 7.15...all the info given is something that could be in a text (which I've tried...we still have the handover )

I say it should be included, friend says it's shouldn't be paid for....just wondering where everyone stands!

Always but always paid. If I ever run late (and it has probably only happened three times in six years of nannies) I do the handover quickly and add fifteen minutes overtime.

Nanny at 7pm is more than ready to go home after a long day and it must be excruciating to be kept waiting by the parents chatting. Not fair!
