[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My contract discusses this in the guaranteed hours clause; you might want to revise yours for the future. Here is what mine says:

•	Family agrees that Nanny will receive the guaranteed base pay 52 weeks per year, even if Family chooses not to utilize Nanny’s services for some or all of any given week such as for Family vacations and holidays. Guaranteed hours assume you are available to work, and that we have canceled. We have never had to cancel a vacation, but it could happen! In this case, your choices would be 1) come to work, 2) use paid time off, 3) take unpaid time off.[/quote]

Nope, this wouldn't be acceptable to me or most nannies I know. Guaranteed hours assumes I am available UNTIL you tell me I don't need to be. If you tell me you're going away for a week, I'm not going to sit and stare at the walls in case you cancel.

I highly doubt this poster would appreciate this in the reverse and I would suggest you consider how you would handle it OP. Say nanny asks for PTO to go away for a week. You make plans, be it a vacation or backup care. Her trip is cancelled and she is now available to work but you don't need her. Would this now fall under guaranteed hours or does it come out of her PTO?[/quote]
