[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you still do a week pay if you gave your nanny a lot of extra days off?

We have given our nanny an extra week of paid time off throughout the year. I'm having a hard time justifying an additional week's pay bonus. [/quote]

So if she has asked for additional time off and you agreed and then paid her instead of having her take unpaid days off, then sure, it’s fine to reduce the bonus (if you eliminate it altogether that’s going to sting).

But I have heard parents talk about “giving her unpaid time off” by which they mean paying their nanny during, e.g, the family’s own vacation or during an extended time off for COVID or other contagious illness when the parents didn’t want her to work.  So make sure that it is actually true vacation time and not just days that she took off to accommodate you.

If my employer told me that because they went to the Bahamas for a week in June and paid me to water the houseplants, that they now won’t be doing a bonus because of all my extra PTO, I would be job hunting by January.[/quote]
