Should new nanny be paid for Labor Day?

[Anonymous]

Help! New nanny just started on Tuesday. She has guaranteed hours and also Labor Day as a
paid holiday. Do we pay for Labor Day of her first day was on Tuesday?

No, don't pay her. She wasn't your employee on Monday if her start day was Tuesday.

If Monday wasn't Labor Day, would she have started Monday instead of Tuesday? If so, I would say yes.

This. Also, it won't be much money for you but it'll probably go a long way in showing your nanny you are a generous employer. And with a few exceptions, if you're treating your nanny right she will reciprocate.

You're treating the nanny right if you pay her from her start date. Tuesday.

You could split the difference and pay her a half day.

You said she has guaranteed hours, so why should not pay! Off course pay her!

[Anonymous]

I say pay her, it may or may no show in her work, but she I'll notice she wasn't paid and probably think your pretty cheap...

I know in the past working for super cheap employers really effects our relationship.

Woops, rephrased what I said and didn't take out 'I'll'. My bad.

Is a federal holiday,you have to pay her for sure.

[Anonymous]

I was all set to tell you to pay her.
But if she didn't start until Tuesday, I don't think you need to pay her.as a nanny, I'd feel weird about getting paid for a day before I started the job.

Clearly you can't read. Nanny didn't officially start until Tuesday.

Her start date was Tuesday. Pay from Tuesday.
