[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know that the standard paid leave is 2 weeks vacation (1 at family's choice, 1 at nanny's choice) and 5 days of sick leave but I'm wondering what DCUM thinks of the below option.

12 days total PTO (no distinction between sick/vacation).  4 days to be used at family's choice, the remaining 8 at nanny's choice.  Request one week advanced notice for use of 1 day or less and two weeks advanced notice for 2 days or more.  Up to 4 days can be carried over to the next year and any days remaining at the end of the year, up to 8 days, will be paid out.

All federal holidays will also be paid time off.

Thoughts?  Too little time?  Too much time at family's discretion?[/quote]

Is this nanny working a 4-day week? If so, it's fine. If not, it should be at least 14 days - so she has two, 5-day blocks she'd be able to schedule for vacation time (assuming she didn't get sick). Otherwise she's getting 4 days at your discretion, one week of vacation, and 3 sick days... trust me, you want your nanny to have two weeks of vacation time to recharge.

And speaking of not getting ill, what exactly do you expect her to do if she's sick? No one knows a week in advance when they're going to get the stomach flu...[/quote]
