[quote=Anonymous]I don't really understand OP - you are covering your nanny's regular income while she is out?  And you are paying for back-up care at the same time?  So you are already paying twice and wondering if you can not pay the interim nanny for yesterday?

I think you need to handle these as two different situations.

I don't think the weather conditions affect the extent to which you are paying your full-time nanny while she is on leave.

Whether or not you feel it's appropriate to pay the interim nanny for a snow day is a different judgment call.

Not sure we can really help you here, but I can tell you that I have been in the position of maintaining our nanny's salary while she was on an extended leave (well beyond any accrued vacation and sick leave) while simultaneously paying for the backup care.  It is very hard to sustain so I can understand the crunch you're feeling, but they are separate issues.

If you can swing it, and especially if you want to retain the interim nanny as a back-up option, then it's probably worth it to pay her for the day, or even half of it, as a gesture of goodwill.  (Assuming, of course, that the weather was sufficient to merit her being out the full day.)[/quote]
