[quote=Anonymous]+1 on setting up PTO to accrue. You can always make a judgment call about whether to let someone take it in deficit, but have the baseline be that sick or PTO time is only paid if it has been accrued to date. Also, then if you part ways for any reason before the year is up, you aren't out the cost of any days she took that weren't yet earned. I will say that sick days are, by their nature, often last minute, though. If she wakes up with a fever, you don't want her coming in. But I also agree with PPs that our children's nannies were rarely sick, in part, I suspect, because they each had 20+ years experience and had already been exposed to every virus under the sun. Five days in two months is a lot unless much of it is clustered around one more severe illness (e.g., if she got the flu, she might legitimately go through several sick days in one fell swoop--but it doesn't sound like that's what's been happening if it's one day here and there).
