[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OK, what happens if your nanny is over the 5 days permitted in the contract but called in sick THREE days this week?  We have been VERY flexible and our nanny has worked for us over a year - great, professional.  But when I tried to talk to her today - very defensive and rude. Totally out of character but she is really sick.  I am at a loss if this is something that is a bigger problem.  Anyone else have an issue with nanny getting upset over sick leave?[/quote]

Then  you either take it out of her vacation time or she needs to take it unpaid if it really matters to you that much.

This is why I never understand creating the distinction between sick and vacation, just give PTO. Who cares why your employee is not there? As long as you are given an agreed upon notice time, the time off should be for them to use at their discretion. [/quote]

I do bundled PTO, but I think the main reasons not to do it are that 1) you have to pay out leftover vacation but not leftover sick leave at the end of employment, and 2) vacation time should be arranged in advance. Maybe you could use it for an extended illness, but I could see not wanting to have 15 days a year that is equally ok for the nanny to call in the morning of to take off.[/quote]
