[quote=Anonymous]No. I would just pay for the extra vacation. It isn’t fair for her to have to find extra weekends or nights to be free because you take extra time off (especially on short notice like a family emergency). Legally you can’t bank hours between pay periods (pay for work in one week that is actually done in another week). Legally you are allowed to not pay her for those hours but most nannies want guaranteed hours so their pay isn’t cut randomly at their employer’s whim. However, it would be fair to ask her to come in while you are away, ideally child related work but potentially reasonable to negotiate some generic errands like watering plants or restocking groceries. Occasionally when we take long vacations that exceed the guaranteed amount in a year, we ask our nanny to stock the fridge the Friday before we get back, make some batches of frozen toddler food or do a sweep of the kids’ rooms and pack up outgrown toys/clothing.[/quote]
