[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do you assume I can pay maternity leave for my nanny and also pay for replacement care during that time. Nanny makes 475/ week after taxes. So double that to cover a sub and you assume I have $1000/week to pay for leave?  Get real.  The nanny is a contractor and we pay annual leave, sick leave etc. but that’s too much. Maternity leave at corporations is spread out more and more easily absorbed as a cost and benefit provided by the employer.[/quote]

The nanny isn't a contractor, she's an employee. The Department of Labor is clear about employment categories for full-time, salaried household employees.[/quote]

She isn't salaried. her contract states hourly pay.  And trust me, we follow the DC gov law in all ways.  Also in a corporation there are other people to absorb the work when one person goes out on leave. This is very different because I "the employer" have to pay the same amount to a substitute. This will drive wages down and specific to nannies, people will go out of their way to hire nannies who are done having kids or not planning to get pregnant while working. I know I would.[/quote]

You are underpaying her to begin with. Shameless. [/quote]
