[quote=Anonymous]She's essentially full-time (38 hours/wk) but we are paying her by the hour as she will occasionally work a few extra hours in a given week and we want to pay her for those hours.  We haven't addressed snow days in her contract, but my husband and I were thinking that the way we'd handle it is that if the federal gov't is closed, we'll give her the day off with no discussion and pay her.  If the gov't has liberal leave, we'll tell her that we would like her to come, and that if she can't, we won't pay her.  Neither of us works for the federal gov't, but we figured this was a fair way to handle it.

Thinking the only fair thing to do is to to pay her a half day since she was counting on the income, but on the other hand, I won't get paid!  I'll normally be able to work from home on a snow day as I'm a consultant and my job is pretty portable as long as I have my computer and a phone.  However, I can't work today since the only point of today was to go into the office, get acquainted with everyone, get my computer, learn the time charging system, etc.

What do you think?
