[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you let that happen? Don't you have a contract that stipulates vacation time? 2 weeks is standard. 3 weeks is good. 4 weeks is awesome. 7 weeks is unheard of. Fix it now.[/quote] This. The contract should specify vacation time. You can't just take unpaid time off in most jobs without a consequence (usually, losing said job). It would be lovely if American employers valued family time more and offered six weeks of vacation, but they don't, so therefore, child care needs to be available too. OP, I would specify vacation time in your contract and have it accrue as your nanny works. Don't approve vacation requests if there is no vacation time available. If you want to be especially accommodating, you can plan your own vacations out in advance and let her know when they will be so that she can dovetail her available leave with your time off to stretch it a bit farther.[/quote]
