[quote=Anonymous]This is one of those issues that I think requires an actual sit-down discussion (I'm a MB). It involves money, what you think you are entitled to, her feelings of independence, potential resentment, etc.. Do this face to face, as if you were an HR person.

Before you sit down with her, decide what you would like the system to be, and how you will implement it.

Finally, she should already know her PTO is used up, and that any additional days would be unpaid. You needed to clarify with her that half days for doctor's appointments and such were coming out of her PTO. It seems ridiculous to those of us with jobs, but a lot of young people think it's like school, where it's an "excused absence" or something, and doesn't "count" as missed work.

I have lines on my nanny's pay stub that say how much PTO she used during the pay period and how much she has left. I also list upcoming paid holidays, and if there are holidays I don't pay for (like Columbus Day), I list those too so that there's no confusion when it rolls around. I also encourage you to go with an accrual method vs. everything at the beginning of the year (we do 1 day PTO per month, all nanny's choice).[/quote]
