[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]About a month early. She's supposed to finish September 25 or 26 and she's leaving August 31. [/quote]

She is not getting paid for the last month where she left, so you can't really hold that against her (you are not paying her right?)

So you gave her one week. And then you took one week off for your vacation and gave her that week. Did you make it clear that this was counting towards her vacation? Because if you didn't, then I would say that in her mind, she probably thinks she is still owed vacation.

Long weekends are nice, but really, that's a little cheap to count those IMO. (may not seem fair, but tons of families never work their au Pairs weekends, so she is likely comparing herself to others with better situations).

End of June absolutely SUCKS for AP to take a vacation. I completely agree with you. It's late in the game and giving you little warning at this point. I think it's fair for you to suggest alternate dates that work better for your family (e.g. 4th of July week where everyone will take Monday 7/3 off anyway?).

Good luck OP. I am not longer in the program and this is one of the little things I don't miss. The bargaining of vacation when you know in your heart of heart that you have already been very generous. [/quote]
