[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will preface this saying I do not have a nanny, but here are my thoughts. If she misses a day of work due to snow, why would you pay her for that day?  It seems to me, she should either use a vacation day or take it unpaid. [/quote]

We put in our contract that we follow OPM. When OPM closed the other day we gave a paid day off. If it’s a delayed start she comes 1-2 hours late. We’ve also given early dismissal at our discretion when snow started coming down around 1 pm one day. But there have been other times where it was a judgment call and OPM gave liberal leave so we offered the choice to use her accrued leave (or I guess take an unpaid day if she hadn’t wanted to use her PTO). I get what OP is saying, but I also realize our nanny doesn’t get any paid benefits, retirement matching, transit reimbursement, etc. through us like our jobs offer.

Finding a part time nanny during covid was really difficult. So offering some paid leave and to follow OPM re: the weather was something we could do to make ourselves attractive as employers.[/quote]
