You miss my point of this entire post completely. The only person who's trying to screw anybody is my former nanny trying to screw the system. Do you get that? Or are you also one of those people that thinks someone owes you something just because you are here on this planet sucking up oxygen? |
She wants full time
You are not providing that. |
Do you think there's any possibility she thinks she's rightfully earned some kind of maternity benefits?
Hasn't someone mentioned that on this thread? |
She wasn't ever full time with OP. Why should she be entitled to changing her job from PT to FT without the consent of her employer? |
The thing is, this country does not provide any kind of maternity benefits to ANYONE. |
No, it's the EMPLOYER who usually provides the compensation package, not the government. |
We are not talking about disability insurance genius. We are talking about state unemployment benefits. Pay attention. |
Nanny quit at will. |
Her employer is the OP, and she did not offer any maternity benefits - a package to which the nanny agreed. |
That's why I said, Domestic workers deserve EQUAL RIGHTS too, not just you office and medical workers. |
Equal to what? Just what do you think office and medical workers get? We don't get paid maternity leave. Our job may or may not be protected during the 12 weeks the government allows. The OP offered the nanny her PT job back after she had the baby. The nanny wanted to substantially change the job, from PT to FT. Why do you think she is entitled to change her job hours without consent of her employer? |
You have a chip on your shoulder and sound very misinformed. Why do u think office workers have more rights? They are not guaranteed anything by law, not even their job after having a baby if their employer has less then 50 employees. Look up FMLA. But you expect a household to pay a nanny's salary for 2 or three months while she's on leave and also paying for backup care so they can go to work? Good luck with that! |
You have a reading comprehension problem. I never said the government should guarantee anything. I said all women should be "equally" treated. Just because one have only one employee, you think you have no ethical obligation to allow her to give birth and have some associated benefits? |
*you, not "one" |
That is why she is unemployed |
