[quote=Anonymous]Ok - my nanny has asked for vacation days for the week of April 20 for awhile now - that has not been an issue and was approved. And we had DH's parents booked as back-up care while nanny will be gone. Nanny and her DH were going to go to Florida and go to Universal Studios and the beach...

Then, coronavirus happened.

I just kind of assumed - which I guess I shouldn't have - that her vacation would be off, since everyone is canceling their upcoming vacations.  But, nope. She told me a week ago, "hey we just booked our flights!"  I kind of just stared at her and didn't know what to say....  I just checked and Universal and Disney are scheduled to re-open on Apr 19.

My husband wants to tell her that if she insists on going on this vacation and especially if she's going to theme parks, she needs to stay home for 2 weeks upon her return and not come to work and we will not pay her. Especially because it puts us at risk, and one of us will have to stay home and try to work from home and watch our kids simultaneously.  We do not want to ask grandparents for backup care anymore, due to current situation.

(She's currently staying home for 2 weeks or maybe longer with pay, by the way)

How would you handle this?  We like her otherwise and want to keep her, but I just think this was a silly decision. [/quote]
