[quote=Anonymous][quote]A nanny is not "losing a couple thousand dollars a year in employer vacatino time, early dismissals, grandparent visits, etc." unless you assume that she should be getting paid for work that she does not do, [/quote]

I do understand the perspective of the lawyers on here like PP who pointed out that they are either contract workers paid only when they clock hours or else bill hours for their firm so need to make up the time somewhere no matter what. I can see how the concept of paying a fixed amount may be tough for you - But I think it's penny-wise and pound foolish to not give your FT nanny guaranteed hours. If you used a daycare you would pay the same fixed amoutn all the time, regardless of whether you use them or not - I have always seen my nanny's pay as the same. I also realize she has a family and that if I let her go at noon some day and ask her to work it on Saturday that that is a hugely negative trade for her since then she: a) gets time off when her kids are in school and in exchange b) has to now work on the weekend when she'd like to be spending time w/ them.

That said, I'm also 22:36 so think most of the problem in this case rests w/ OP for not negotiating items she needed at the get-go and now trying to rework the deal months into it.[/quote]
