[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After 7 years of employing nannies, here's what we do:

We give nanny the same federal holidays we get. It's not all of them. We also give day after Thanksgiving because we never work that day, though I prefer not to put it in the contract and instead give it as a "bonus day" closer to the holiday.

For vacation, we hive two weeks - one our choice, one hers. I do not allow ANY paid vacation during the first 60 days, though. Vacation can accrue but not be taken during that time. Our nanny accrues vacation, but the contract says she can take the time before it is accrued, provided that if she ends employment with a negative vacation balance it will be deducted from her final check.

Even "nice" nannies will sometimes try to play you for the vacation weeks - decide they're moving, returning to school, whatever, but take vacation before giving notice. If you go with accrue method, you can mostly avoid this. [/quote]

Just curious, we are hiring in the next month or so, would you still require the time to accrue so close to the holidays?[/quote]
