[quote=Anonymous]We treat nanny choice and family choice vacation as two separate buckets. Do 10 days of nanny's choice PTO that accrues (0.83 day or X hours/month). Week of family's choosing doesn't accrue in the sense that you should pay in full no matter what time of year you choose to take it, and you also pay if you take vacation in excess of that. We actually did put an accrual clause for family choice vacation in our contract because we pay for any unused vacation in either bucket, so if she were to leave the job in June but we hadn't taken any family vacation for the year at that point, we'd pay her a prorated 2.5 days of "unused" family choice vacation (plus any accrued but unused nanny choice vacation). But this may be more complex than you really care to get into.

For doctor's appointments and rare occasions where she's asked to leave early due to feeling ill, we said that if it didn't exceed ~3 hours of missed work, we wouldn't count it as anything (and trust the nanny not to abuse this). So for us PTO only gets counted in increments of half-days. This is because we have some flexibility to shift hours and WFH occasionally. If you do it this way, I think it's within reason to ask the nanny to make up those hours elsewhere in the week, especially if you need to make up that time at work to cover the absence (though we almost never do this). If you don't have the flexibility in your job to shift hours or WFH, or if the nanny started to take advantage of this too often, then maybe do PTO in hourly increments and just deduct whatever amount the nanny had to miss.[/quote]
