[quote=Anonymous]Like everything else regarding guaranteed hours, you should pay, but you are not legally required to do so.

I suggest that you think this through and write up a sensible policy. If you are expected to work from home on days your office is closed for weather, for instance, you may not want to make a blanket "if schools are closed, you stay home" policy. Some years the number of school/OPM closing days was significant, and often the local area was fine.

My policy has changed over the years. Now it says the nanny is off if OPM closes during significant weather events. After the event is over, we will evaluate on a day-to-day basis, but not follow OPM closings. We also offer to come get her in our all-wheel drive if she doesn't want to drive.

I got pretty upset a few years ago when every restaurant and retail outlet in town was open, but schools were still closed and my nanny insisted it wasn't safe (she lived ten minutes away; I know the streets were clear). I had to take leave because it was impossible to work from home with the kids. So, my policy has gotten more detailed.[/quote]
