[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If she’s otherwise a great nanny I would let it go. They are in fact hard to find. If this one of many issues I would let her go.

But I would not pick a fight over $20-40/ a week (or whatever it is).  Petty. [/quote]

Agreed. When I had a job with string union protection (small federal agency) our contract specified something like a 40 minute window for arrival before you could be considered “late.” It really cut down my stress. If she’s a good nanny overall, [b]don’t quibble over silly [/b]stuff. [/quote]

Some jobs are not time-dependent and some are when it comes to start time. I work in an elementary school. You can’t arrive 10-20 minutes late several times a week. You simply can’t because it impacts others’ work. Others would have to scramble to cover my class. If the nanny’s late arrival is impacting OP’s ability to leave on time for her own job, it’s not “silly stuff.” [/quote]

Can you imagine the DCUM posts?   "DC's teacher is late every day!!!"   Well, maybe the teacher is like OP.

OP, how does her late arrival affect you?  Can you adjust her start time, or does your schedule not allow for that?  I wouldn't pay someone to be late every day.  At my job start time was start time, a continually late nanny would have resulted in me being fired.[/quote]
