[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Nanny here. I have requested unpaid leave for days here and there where I thought it was unlikely that the parents would be able to stay home. My intention was actually to make it easier on them, so that they would not have to pay my rate and the rate of a backup sitter. [/quote] The point is that you can request it, but some families may not be able to manage it; it's not just about the cost. There's a reason people are limited to 2 weeks vacation even in corporate jobs, and requests for more time off, even unpaid, are not always granted. The whole point of FMLA was to force companies to give that time off. They weren't inclined to do so otherwise, and that is unpaid time.[/quote]
