Pay advice with dc closures

[Anonymous]

Do I pay my nanny if the federal government is closed due to weather inclement or do I make her come in?

Of course you pay her

It's up to you to make her come to work. But with this weather it wouldn't be fair make and nice ask her come. If you tell her just stay at home, You have to pay her.

Wether she lives close by or not that weather and the roads this morning was brutal. Dc has closures for a reason and yes you should pay her. It should an inclement weather clause should be in your contract as well. You parents for some reason think we are super heroes we can’t come in if it’s bad outside.

There are several ways to handle it:

1. If you have to work, nanny has to be there, take a paid day or take an unpaid day if there are no paid days accrued.
2. If the commute is 30+ minutes and your school system is closed, nanny has the option to not come in if roads are too bad.
3. If you absolutely must have your nanny work regardless of weather, you need someone with a <5 minute commute or a live-in.

Absolutely you pay her! Jesus, what a question! If she can come to work safely - she comes to work. If she can’t - she doesn’t.
