[quote=Anonymous]You are both wrong here.

If she asked to leave early for appointments, she should either not be paid for those hours or use PTO. If she didn't actually need to leave early, and she wanted to be paid her regular rate, then she should have stayed. It's not on you to make her day easier unless you want to.

You need to make your time-off policy clear. Mine is that the nanny needs to use her PTO in 1/2 day amounts, because I don't want to be tracking hours.

So, if she leaves 2 hours early one day and wants to use PTO, she ends up getting paid for 4 hours instead of 2 (because she worked the other two), but at her regular rate, not OT.

If you wanted her to come in early one day, that should be extra pay, unless you said to her, "Hey, rather than taking those hours for your doctor's appt unpaid, or using PTO, can you come an hour earlier on Tuesday and we'll call it a wash?" She comes out ahead that way, and you don't feel so taken advantage of.

But it has to be clear![/quote]
