[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello, we are planning to agree on 2 weeks paid time off (vacation) for our nanny. This is in addition to paid sick leave. PTO would be split as follows: 1 week at her discretion, 1 week at ours. [b]However, my husband and I might take 2 additional weeks off - we cannot really pay the nanny during this time as well. [/b]How do others handle this / what is customary? [/quote]

If this is really true, then you cannot afford a nanny.

If one week of her PTO is at your discretion, then you take that week off as well.[/quote]
I have to agree with this. PP, if it's really true you can only pay for 50 weeks per year, you can't afford your nanny. One alternative could be to look at what you can afford to pay over the course of a year and divide that out such that you have a lower rate but the pay is steady throughout the year, similar to what teachers sometimes do where they have a 10 month contract but get paid in 12 equal installments. I think that would be less confusing and problematic than offering a job where there are just two unpaid weeks per year. [/quote]
