[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you. 
I will wait to talk to nanny a few days after she is back (Tuesday or Wednesday) and get a better idea of how long she needs to be there.

My understanding is that she needs to be in home country when the body arrives so she needs to go 1-2 days before and the funeral will be 4 days after body arrives. So in 1 week she is done. Nanny has 10 brothers and sisters. Some live in home country and some in the US/Europe.  Mom lived in the US with dad. 3 kids (nanny + 2 siblings) lived in the US as well. The other 2 siblings are coming back after 1 week because of work and I am not sure why nanny needs to be there for 3-4. Also, nanny goes back to home country every year and I am sure she will go back this summer in July-August so she has other times to see her extended family.

It’s a really big ask of us to take a month off and get paid. I will ask why she needs to be there and then decide what to do.

Thank you for all your suggestions and I feel like we will come to some kind of agreement about her pay for those 3-4 weeks.[/quote]

Don’t ask her why she needs to be there for that long. She’s is entitled to ask for what she wants and your entitled to agree or disagree but you are not entitled to a justification for the request. I personally would pay her for 2 weeks and she can govern herself accordingly. [/quote]

I agree. No questions and no unearned pay. That's how you treat an adult. [/quote]
