[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who are all these people who supposedly have backup care when OPM closes? I couldn't get anyone out here. Luckily my office follows OPM, but I would have had to miss several days.

Any company that would fire a working mom for having to take off a few days a year for childcare is a worthless place to work. You can't hire parents without some flexibility in this day and age. Also, if you are treating this mom more harshly than a father or an employee who took days off for other reasons, then you make be liable for caregiver discrimination.

Also OP boasting about her 5 backup plans, and then it turns out she works PT? Yeah, f you.[/quote]

I was not boasting. I just have a lot of options. I have only used 3 of my 5 options but I lined up another 2 in case my first 3 fall through.

There are a lot of former teachers who are now SAHMs. If you are friendly with them, they are open to earning $200 to have a play date with your kids.[/quote]

Wow, OP, so you make more than $200 a day working part time? You must since why would you pay $200 a day for childcare unless you are making more than that. Please tell us what industry you work in so that we can all do this.

Also, understand that someone making less than $60k a year, such as your employee as one PP pointed out and you did not deny, cannot just afford to pay $200 per day in childcare costs, especially with all the snow days we've had recently and your company does not even have an inclement weather policy. Frankly, get your ish together. [/quote]
