[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you take several weeks off of work?[/quote] So OP should burn her PTO or go on unpaid leave to accommodate this? Also OP how old are your kids?[/quote] It is so her employee can bury her mother. [/quote] What culture is this that requires 3-4 weeks to bury someone? I've had coworkers do this and return after a week. I can understand two weeks since it's an international flight. Anything above that, I think, is just the employee wanting to take extra time and visit family since she's there. That's an understandable ask, but not paid. Paying for one week of bereavement would be very generous on the OP's part. The rest is really the nanny's choice as to whether this extended time in her home country is worth losing several weeks of pay. It is a luxury that most US workers would not be able to swing between PTO issues, approvals, and lack of pay. And plenty would not have a job to come back to since this does not fall under FMLA.[/quote]
