[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“Covid-era Raise” should be more - not less.  Nannies are in high demand right now.  And the work is harder - not easier because you’re home.

Your reasoning is backward, OP.  In short, you must give her a raise. [/quote]

I would agree, but she’s already getting paid for 2-10 hours she isn’t working every week.[/quote]

You are paying to reserve her time.  If you don’t need that many hours hire someone part time.  Good luck finding them![/quote]

I’m not OP.  I’m someone who can’t see a huge raise when someone is getting paid EVERY WEEK for not working up to a quarter of their hours.  In my experience, guaranteed hours are the normal hours per week, not the maximum.  This family would be well within their rights to slash guaranteed down to what the new normal is and then give a $1-2 merit raise.  They’d still come out ahead.  But nobody would be happy.[/quote]

It’s wrong to change the terms/hours of a contract.  The nanny accepted the position based on her guaranteed hours.  It’s not the employee’s decision or request to leave work early here.

At least $1 an hour raise is called for here.  That’s not huge.  It’s the right thing to do.
