[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone who employs a wonderful nanny, this question makes me sad and irritated. It’s a salaried job. She is sick. She gets paid until she’s better. Isn’t that how your salaried job works?? You sound like a lousy employer, TBH. [/quote] I actually don’t know about DMV but in Massachusetts it’s illegal for nannies to be salaried. They have to be hourly and overtime eligible. Also my husband and I are both salaried and do not get unlimited sick time. That said, I completely agree with you about what to do. I just don’t think the question is absurd. I would say — recognize that as the employer you are the privileged party and you have some power to be the change you want to see in the world, assuming COVID is helping us all to realize how vital adequate sick time is. Also, I know it varies but many of us have ways to flex our time/WFH when sick; nannies do not; generosity is the way to go here; etc.; etc.[/quote]
