[quote=Anonymous][quote]Is it always the rule that when you take vacation you must also pay your nanny and also give her a discretionary week of vacation? Has anyone thought of another creative way to deal with employer vacation and nanny pay? Any suggestions would be helpful. thanks.[/quote]

No its not always the rule at all. Many positions do not offer guaranteed hours. Its a great perk. Not an unreasonable one to request, but one that should be factored into the original compensation package and not taken for granted by nannies.

As an employer you actually do much better financially offering guarantee pay, a week of vacation and lower rate. Most nannies are emotional and don't do math. They will take a slight lower paying job offering guaranteed hours and a week of vacation at their choice over a higher paying job that doesn't offer these benefits. It just takes a slight difference in hourly or gross pay over the course of a year to add up to what the paid time off cost the employer. The balance clearly changes if you plan on taking months off but for 2 weeks the advantage goes to the employer. [/quote]
