[quote=Anonymous]We originally offered 5 days of sick leave in addition to 10 days of vacation leave. In my job, sick leave is only for unexpected illness. We ran into the issue of our nanny assuming she could use the sick time for additional vacation if it wasn't used for sick leave, when we intended it more as an insurance policy in case of serious illness. I mention since you say the lower amount of leave would include greater flexibility. If you really intend the sick leave to only be used for illness, Id clarify that in a contract. (Of course people can lie,  but that's a separate issue.)

You might want to also consider bundling all leave as PTO. The upside to this is you can budget the exact amount of leave you can afford to offer. The downside is that you need to be clear on your limitations if it is all used as vacation with no time left for true sick leave.

Finally, be sure to clarify how much, if any leave, you will pay out in cash and how much, if any, can be rolled over.[/quote]
