[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't carry over hours to the next week so if cours you pay her!![/quote]
I decided to pay already since I don't have the weather policy in place, but who says I can't I carry the hours over to the next week if that's what she and I decide to do? [/quote]

It is wrong, OP.  Guaranteed hours are just that - guaranteed.  She might agree but she will resent you.

And I think it is against the law for domestic workers.  [/quote]

It is not "against the law." The law says you have to pay overtime for any number of hours over 40 worked in a 7-day week. What is against the law is getting around that OT law by banking hours (as in, someone works 25 hours one week, but is paid for 40, and then works 55 hour the next week, but is paid for 40. That person should be paid 15 hours of OT in week 2).

But guaranteed hours are a negotiated perk, not required by law. If OP and her nanny agree that she'll work an extra day the week after a snow day, then they can do that.[/quote]
