[quote=Anonymous]I'm interested in your advice (nannies and employers) on two different approaches to offering leave.  Here is what we currently offer our nanny (I'll call this Option A): 2 weeks of vacation, one week of sick leave, 10 federal holidays, and generally 6-10 additional days off during the year when we're away or off work ourselves.

What we're considering (Option B) is changing her 2 weeks of vacation and 1 week of sick leave, to 3 weeks of personal time that she may use however she sees fit.  (And all other leave - holidays, etc... staying the same.)  So, not changing the total amount of time off we're giving her, just giving her some more flexibility in how she uses it, including the ability to use any leave she has to cover any time she needs/wants to be off - whether it's for medical or vacation reasons.

I have the A version in my job, and my husband has the B version in his job.  So we're split on this (and we will discuss this with our nanny before making any changes.)

I can see some advantages and disadvantages to both approaches but I'm interested in hearing from any of you who have experience with this.

Thanks.
