[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny is flying across the country for a family reunion Thanksgiving. We obviously couldn’t tell her she couldn’t go, and now we’d like her to quarantine for a week and test for Covid before returning to work with us.  Are we expected to compensate her for this week off? It seems super irresponsible of her to do this, and I don’t think she deserves a paid one week vacation upon return. But there’s nothing in her contract about this scenario since we didn’t anticipate it.[/quote]

Well, aren’t you nice.[/quote]
NP. Why? OP seems reasonable. The nanny should’ve had a conversation about the family letting her know of her plans. And the family should’ve set out their expectations. A failing on everyone’s part here. But OP, if your nanny didn’t talk to you about this, it’s likely she’s doing more risky things here at home like hanging out with friends, going out to eat, etc. I agree that she doesn’t get a paid week off because she decided to travel during a huge spike during the pandemic. Since you should’ve laid this all out weeks ago, I don’t know what to tell you now.[/quote]
