[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Two months is a reasonable time to request vacation but a vacation request is a request not a notification. If the employee requests time off during a critical period or when others have already been granted PTO, the employer can say no and direct the employee to take different weeks. Nannies do not seem to understand this.

Is it normal and agreed upon for your nanny to take two consecutive weeks during the summer? [b]You mentioned that you really only pay her all year so you have her in the summers and you were really surprised she announced two weeks in August. If it’s not, my guess is the two week girls trip is BS. She has a cushy gig getting paid for lots of hours while the kids are in school and wants to take her vacation when she has the most work. This is a crap move. [/b]

It may be time to move away from this model of childcare. [/quote]

It's not really reasonable to expect an employee to never take vacation in the summer which is prime travel time. If that were very important to the employer it should have been spelled out in the contract. [/quote]
