[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]First, as a full time domestic employee she’s entitled to sick leave.

However, my part time nanny, who’s hours didn’t rise to the level of qualifying for sick leave, took 9 days (only one of which I didn’t pay for) from November to June. I expect she will want a good referral from me. I fully intend to state that I needed reliable care (so we are doing the post-school care provided through the county).

If I ever followed up on a future candidate you better believe this is my first question. Your nanny wouldn’t get a second interview from me. [/quote]

Wow.  You're extremely terrible.  People get sick -- you're going to tank her job prospects because of that? You clearly found her an acceptable nanny in core respects, because you LET HER take those days off.  Which gave her the message that her behavior was fine!  And now you're going to penalize her for doing something normal that you said she could do?  WFT, seriously?  If you can't give her a good recommendation, then don't give any recommendation at all.

And in DC anyway, paid sick leave applies to part-time employees, not just full-time. So you're wrong on the law too.
