[quote=Anonymous]I've been working with this family almost 5 months. Im horrible about sitting down and talking about these things face to face because i get intimidated. I'm thinking of sending an email.  I know it's late but I feel like I really to sit down and talk with them about:

PTO and sick days- I've been sick a few times since I started this position and have never said a word about it and still came to work. I've never wanted to call out because once it hits me its mostly the night before and I think that's to short of notice. What should I do. I still need to be paid.

Paid vacation- they are planning a week long vacation and I believe they are planning on just not paying me for the entire week. For me this will not work out. I have a monthly budget and this will set me back if we do do so.

I have sat down and talked to MB about a similar topic (Guaranteed hours) and it somewhat got resolved. It works for them, not so much for me :( We came to the conclusion that if there was ever a time she didn't need me she would calculate the hours and I would make them up. For example if she came home early or decided to stay home. Now that I think about this a kinda feel like an indentured servant and that she should be paying for my availability on the days and times she stated she would need me. I have decided to let this go and go with the flow because I should have added what I wanted in the contract in the beginning and went over this at the interview. So I know for next time.

I work for this family 30 hours a week
Three days
