[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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’m almost 50 with a PhD.  I have never had unlimited sick leave at any of my salaried jobs.  This is not the norm in most industries.  [/quote]

Seriously, I want to work for some of these posters! Unlimited sick leave sounds amazing. [/quote]

This is all true.  As an advocate of unlimited sick leave (though not one of the rude previous posters) I would always advocate for people in a position of privilege to be generous with pay and benefits.  Not everyone can swing all the same benefits so maybe “unlimited” isn’t realistic for some but in general household employers are in a position of relative privilege.  Be the change you want to see in the world.  At least operate generously and with compassion.  OP sounds like a great employer so I have no rude remarks.[/quote]
