[quote=Anonymous][quote]Why would someone OPT OUT of PTO? That's dumb. When something comes up and they need time off/are sick, they will regret that. I'd keep it in contract, but a lower number than you expected to give.[/quote]

Read the OP's post. Its a part time position. The nannies are asking for a high enough salary and guaranteed hours instead of PTO. PTO isn't very common with part time jobs so the candidates are trying not to make themselves look like the candidate who is asking for too much compensation. They know that if they ask for a high rate and PTO that there will be five other candidates not asking for it and they lose the job.

PTO is just another form of compensation. Its been posted here before but a higher paying job with no PTO (you take unpaid time if you are sick) can yield a higher annual take home amount than a slight less paying job with PTO. If you are never sick and don't travel where you need to make travel arrangements outside of when your family goes on vacation and you get guaranteed hours, its actually smart to push for the higher rate and give up PTO.
