[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We gave our nanny a $5,000 signing bonus for the month before my due date. I delivered early and we started her regular hourly wage when she started (day after I came home from the hospital). She was just too good to potentially lose. She’s been our nanny for close to seven years. [/quote] this is backwards. if you didn’t want to lose her, you should have started her FT employment early or given her a retention bonus. [/quote] How could we have started her early when she had no baby to nanny?! And the signing bonus was the retention bonus. [/quote] you would pay her wage, obviously. her time is money. if you paid the signing bonus on the day she started caring for the baby, not the day she signed the contract, then yes, that is a retention bonus and one way to “secure” a nanny before you pay the wage.
