[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP.  How many sick days a nanny takes and number of times late are definitely things I ask during the reference check.  Reliability is important to us.[/quote]

Well, then you should know that [b]you may be violating the ADA.[/b]  Retaliating against someone for being sick is unethical and often illegal.  [/quote]

Nope. If the employer has less than 25 employees, the ADA does not apply.

You can argue about what she should and shouldn't do, but you can't invoke ADA legislation to back you up.[/quote]

Nor is a cold a disability [/quote]

Be careful with that. I have an autoimmune disorder and the medication I need to treat it causes me to be immunosuppressed. Therefore I catch colds and other illnesses more frequently than others despite taking a lot of precaution. In my case, time off needed for colds and other illnesses can be directly tied to my health condition which could be considered a disability. I am a teacher (I was diagnosed years into my teaching career), so I am exposed to lots of germs. A nanny might be in a similar situation. [/quote]

Maybe. Regardless, it doesn’t matter for a nanny. [/quote]

Because nannies are robots and should be treated as such?[/quote]

What? No. Because the ADA doesn’t apply. Why is this so hard for everyone?[/quote]
