[quote=Anonymous][b]Do you guarantee your nanny a set number of hours or weeks of pay? Why? Why not?[/b]

Our nanny works 50 hrs/week.  We have those hours to accommodate the time I (MB) am out of the house for work.  They are set hours as I'm a M-F, 9-5 worker.

[b]If you take a day off here or there is your nanny still paid. What is the benefit in doing this?[/b]

Our nanny is paid 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year (unless she takes sick and vacation leave in excess of what we offer.)  We give 10 paid vacation days and 5 paid sick days per year.  If she wanted to take longer vacation that would be leave without pay.

[b]If your nanny works 8.5 hours do you subtract the .5 to account for a lunch break. The lunch break doesn't allow for nanny to leave the home.[/b]

Our nanny works 8-6 and she is paid for the whole time.  She doesn't get to leave the house or be off-duty, even if child is sleeping, so therefore she gets paid.

[b]How many federal holidays are PTO. [/b]

Nanny gets the same holidays I get - which is 10 days.  9 federal holidays, plus the Friday after Thanksgiving (in lieu of Veteran's Day).  We also contribute to our nanny's health insurance coverage.

We have a formal contract that spells all this out.  I found the contract details, rough benefit parameters, etc.. by extensive online research, talking w/ other parents, and using my own work experience.  [/quote]
