[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't. But that doesn't make a cold into a disability. It would be something else other than the cold.

(Which is still not, in itself, a disability.)

Why is this hard for you?[/quote]

why is it so hard for YOU to understand [b]that any employer is wading into a minefield if they make employment decisions based on an employees use of sick leave [/b] [1] (when apparently that sick leave was approved and used in the agreed upon manner?) obviously I know that run of the mill illnesses are not disabilities.  But the point is that in many cases they could be - you just don't know the facts.  AND in DC employees (including part-time) have a right to paid sick leave, and cannot be retaliated against for taking it.  it's just dumb, dumb, dumb to inform a reference that your nanny took her CONTRACTUALLY AND/OR LEGALLY APPROVED sick leave.  You should not say a word about it.  [/quote]

[1] Yeah, it is. I never said it wasn't. (???)

I said private nannies aren't covered by the ADA, and they aren't. I agreed with another poster that a mere cold doesn't count as a disability, and it doesn't. You seem -- unhinged? Kind of rant-y?

again, the ADA is a red herring since nannies absolutely are covered by many state & local anti-discrimination laws. Why do you keep on fixating on the ADA? you sound like a nightmare employer. [/quote]
