[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The new law allows workers in businesses with under 5 employees to earn up to 32 hours of paid sick leave per year (+ 24 hours unpaid). I have always given a total of 12 days PTO, to be used at the nanny's discretion, for any purpose, because it's easy to have it accrue at 1 day per month. This all rolls over to the next year, too. I also do guaranteed hours.

I can't add another 4 days of sick leave on top of this, so I'm trying to figure out the best way to restructure my nanny agreement so that we still end up with the same number of days off, but 4 of them are designated as sick leave (in practice, they will still act as PTO). Or, since she can use them for any reason already, do I need to do this?

If there's no way to restructure the agreement legally to have it basically come out the same, I'll switch to the one week her choice/one week my choice vacation method, which will basically do the same thing since it will eliminate 5 days I had to pay guaranteed hours for in the past.[/quote]

"Employers with fewer than five employees must provide leave at the same rate – one hour for every 30 hours worked – and up to 56 hours of leave per year. [b]However, for these small employers, only 32 hours must be paid and 24 hours can be provided on an unpaid basis.[/b]"

So you aren't required to pay for those extra days.[/quote]
