[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work at a place that has a lot of hourly workers, and they are in no way interchangeable. Nannying is an important  skilled job, but there are many important skilled jobs that are hourly.

At my workplace, if we close when you’re scheduled to work, you get paid. If we are open and you don’t show up, you don’t get paid. Snow days are a bit of a gray area because it’s the family that’s deciding if they’re “open” or not. That relies on you to be sensible and humane. But when you offered safe transportation, assuming it really was safe, the nanny should have either, or not been paid[/quote]

[b]Yeah, I don't get why this person is so invested in hourly jobs generally involving interchangeable employees. [/b] There are plenty of hourly jobs that require employees to not just have specific skills, but also knowledge of workplace logistics, procedures, and even personalities, such that someone who technically has the skills but lacks the specific experience in that workplace can't just smoothly step in.  It's really not helping her case.  [/quote]

It's really interesting because many jobs (especially federal) can have employees who are salaried and some that are hourly, and they are doing pretty much the same work. I contracted for the federal government as a physician for a year before I signed on as a permanent employee, and the only differences are that now I have benefits, and I am supposed to attend more meetings.[/quote]
