You cannot continue to employ her if you don’t pay her in full. If you really, really don’t want her to come in until she has a negative test, you either need to let her go (so she can find a new paying job) or pay her to stay home. And not count it against her sick days.

Yeah this is what I would do. Essentially the PCT test will continue to be positive for a while after initial infection, even if person isn't sick or contagious. You are lucky your nanny told you what is going on. I would make sure you keep her. At this point with her reinfection, she is probably the safest nanny you could get.

Sept. has 31 days?


The other flaw in this, is that we don't know if the nanny is eligible for unemployment based on her previous employment history.

+1 This. And if you're doing this mostly because your mother is afraid of having her in the house, ask your mother to pay her and/or to watch your child for the week the nanny can't work.

This. Get a grip OP. Or let your nanny find a rational employer.


+100

If you are so concerned give her an extra week of paid leave but she should not be using her own personal sickleave for this. She is cleared by the CDC and her local health department. She should not have to “pay” for this because of your anxieties.

Ask your pediatrician. Take only his/her advice.

How much notice do you have built into the contract?
