[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nannies, cleaning ladies, and tutors are not "your" employees. They typically work for a nanny service, cleaning company like merry maids, etc. and you are just the customer.

I work in sales, that's like asking why one of my many clients at work aren't asking for paid leave for me.[/quote]

I'm not their employer.

As a customer, the best I can do is try to vet that the company that I am a client of treats their employees well (which I do).

Many people hire nannies and cleaning ladies directly. But even if they hire through a company, the person still does work for them. [b]The fact that they receive a paycheck are from someone else is just matter of accounting.[/b]

It's just so very interesting that people believe that their company has a moral obligation to pay them maternity leave benefits but then they turn around and deny maternity pay to people who work for them..

Fine. It's the same matter of accounting that results in me not needing to pay employees of Pepco or Comcast maternity leave wages. It's the same matter of accounting that results in me not paying into the STD fund for the Giant employees who stock and check out my groceries. It's the same matter of accounting that results in me not subsidizing the maternity leave of my 3rd grader's music teacher who had a baby a couple weeks ago.

People who hire nannies and cleaning ladies directly usually have contracts that spell out the benefits provided by the employer, including disability insurance, paid vacation, sick leave, etc. [/quote]
