Yes, use the filing paperwork to get the refund for the pay you will need to pay her. I would also re-think hiring her again for the next four months. It was irresponsible behavior for her to take a vacation. In the meantime, she's not going to catch covid again, but you need to address the other pod families.

What state do you live in? Some states mandate sick leave.

Yes, she is covered for 80 hours at her regular rate.

I had suggested two days of sick leave, prorated from the standard 5 days for a one-year contract, but the other parents were not willing to offer this.
She went on an ill-advised flight to a family gathering for Thanksgiving, where she caught covid. Everyone is furious. We already gave her a paid week of quarantine time when she came back, during which she developed symptoms and then tested positive.
No one wants to give her more paid time off for her irresponsible vacation. I am looking into whether she has rights to paid sick time off under federal law. My interpretation is that she does. If anyone wants to comment on their experience with this law and not make guesses about what kind of person I am, I am all ears.
Your nanny share is not responsible either.

Yes she is eligible. You get a tax credit for giving it to her. I hope you’re paying her legally?

Guess # 1: You're a mom, you took some kind of paid leave for maternity. STD, sick, annual, paid medical. You would have been horrified if you didn't get it, and probably thought it was sexist you didn't get more.
Guess # 2: This is a woman. The person whose career and health you devalued, and who you are treating like a child by trying to punish "risk taking behavior" is a woman, who you don't respect because she's in a traditionally female role.
Guess #3: Your kid in this pod is either a female child, watching you and seeing your sexism and picking up on your internalized misogyny, or a male child watching you and learning how to treat women.
Thank you.

You pay her. You are risky for having a pod.

Oh, so you admit it wasn't about preventing risks.
I think when you go into an arrangement with unethical people, you need to make up for their unethical behavior. You pay the entire salary yourself.

You hired a covid caregiver and set up a contract to encourage the risky behavior of coming to work with symptoms. That's one of the most irresponsible things I've read.
You pay her, and recognize that people like you are why we have a pandemic.
We’re doing the same thing (4 families one caregiver) but clearly stated sick days are paid. Pay her so she stays home until she is well and not contagious.
