[quote=Anonymous]Re: the scheduling changes, my contract has specific guidelines. It says that my employers can request the odd schedule change and if I can accommodate it, I will, but if it is with less than one month's notice and I an not available, I am paid anyway. If it is more than one month's notice and I'm not available, I am not paid (this has never happened though). Think about how something like this could work for you - perhaps some guidelines on how much notice you'd want, as well as how far in advance you'd be willing to commit to changing your schedule OR losing the day's pay, and how many times per month you'd be comfortable with this happening. You need to be very specific about when you will be taking fiscal responsibility for not working a day and lose that day's pay [rarely] and when your MB will take responsibility for paying you [majority]. You could also agree to accept all Tue/Thur schedule changes with very little notice provided you were relieved by 4:30pm. You need to explain either way, and even if you have told them so before, that you have another job you have to go to on Tue/Thur evenings and you cannot call out of it. If you like, you can offer her the names of any other nannies/sitters who might have daytime availability to work if you can't, but be clear that you'd still be getting paid every week for your MWF hours (and tell her, "of course if you have a Monday off I'd still be happy to come in")

Re: the holiday - I had a whole answer typed out and then I thought about what that really means. You only work 3 days a week for them but you'd be working 8 days in a row during their vacation?! I think the ONLY sensible thing to do is take your PTO time that week - and when you use PTO time, you are not responsible for any extra duties. It's actually kind of insane that they expect you to come every day they're away even though you're a very PT employee, but it sounds like that plan was under the assumption you'd be using your vacation another time. Clarify that with them (and with us, if I have it wrong) and let them know you would like to simplify that issue by agreeing to take your vacation time while they're away and scrap the whole clause. [b][if you don't get PTO, then say so because that is a whole different scenario][/b][/quote]
