FT Employer docking me every penny…

[Anonymous]

I work Full-time for a family that has a 1 year old, started when DS was only 2 months. The two times i needed to go to doctor i took about 1-2 hours off and got back to work. The family deducted those hours from my paycheck. A few weeks ago, DM told me she had family in town and wont need me one day. I got those 8 hours deducted from my paycheck, also. In the 11 years working as a FT nanny none of my former employers never clipped me for medical nor days off given voluntarily by them. Have you dealt with this issue before? Would you email or speak directly to them that im not happy with that and want guaranteed hours. TIA for your advice!

You should speak up. But I am wondering why you didn't talk about this before the hire you and you accepted the Job. Actually this is one of the most important things you should agreed All Paid guaranteed hours, your 52 weeks paid.

It's their business if they don't need your services sometimes. You will be there and you are there always ready to work. If they had family in town and give you those days off, of course they have to pay you. Without deduct anything from your pay check.

Regarding your Dr. Appointment. It's also another mistake you make. You should have stated what is the way you work and what arrangement were you were looking before signing a contract.

Unfortunately both of you never talked about this in your interview and your contract I'm guessing. It's better talk to them, and see if all this arrangement can be fixed; depending what they tell you; you decide if you would be willing to keep working like that.

They should not pay you for the doctor visits except if you make up the hours. They should pay you if they schedule you and don’t need you.

As a Nanny I’ve always gotten paid if i needed medical without making up hours; its the principal of employer to make sure their caregiver is healthy for performance. Just as employers take numerous’brakes’ for lunch, medical, nail appointments and such the nanny must be compensated if it is just an hour or so.

You need to find a new job. There is no excuse for not paying you when they told you to take off.

These are people so cheap that they are screwed into their pants every morning. MO MOVE ON!

Hopefully you have a contract. They should always pay you if they ask you not to come because us Nannie’s have bills as well. Guaranteed hrs !!

I have never been docked for an hr or two even if I don’t make it up. Especially since I am flexible and come early for my bosses when they need. Some people clock everything and it’s the same bosses who are always late but never value your time like their own. I’d look for another family

They are salaried workers, you are hourly. You should make up the hours, use leave or go unpaid.

You are wrong PP. I have always worked for hour; and I never ever been taken even a penny out of my pay; when I have needed a couple of hours for an emergency, dr. Or so. It doesn't matter you work by salary or hour.

And sorry to tell you; but I have also never requiere to make up those hours. Her employer is just Cheap. It's not worth for her, keep working for them. To OP. It's better to start for a new position, if the things are going on that way.

I am a nanny and I am using my sick time to go to appointments. Once I have used it up, I do not expect being paid for missed days or hours. At my $32 ah rate, 2 hrs is just way too much to pay for nothinh. Again, I do have 7 sick days a year and I never been needing more to be honest. Just get your family agree on your paid sick time, op.

It's not being cheap and as a "professional" you get leave and you take leave for doctor's appointments. They should pay her for days they don't need her but if she is scheduled to work and cannot that is what sick leave is for. It does matter if you are salary vs. hourly and you clearly don't get how professional vs. hourly jobs work.

So your employer docks you for every single doctor’s appointment you “slip out to?” I very much doubt it, unless you’re a Walmart cashier.
