[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always find that banking for me as MB goes the other way. My nanny would like certain days/times off when she is regularly scheduled to work and still be paid and then asks to work those hours at another time. If I agree to that, then there shouldn't be a problem with her agreeing to the same for me as well. [/quote]

Sure, when it's a mutually beneficial agreement that's no problem.

Typically, however, it's a one-sided benefit and puts the nanny in an unfair position of being forced to give up her free time at no extra pay, when she WAS available to work her scheduled hours.[/quote]

But wait, several MBs here have responded talking about mutually working this out with their nannies or being flexible for their nannies' sakes.  A few nannies have commented that their employers do this as well.  But then you say "typically...it's a one-sided benefit."  I don't see too many nannies in this particular thread complaining about being used this way.  So I'm not sure where you are getting your data.  Yes, I've seen a few other threads, but not more than I've seen MBs in this thread saying it's a mutual benefit.[/quote]

I'm the PP you're replying to - I've had employers who went on vacation and asked me to bank those hours, making them up in extra long days and weekends later (a one-sided benefit), and I've had employers where we agreed to a respectful give-and-take that benefitted both sides.

I have seen more of the former than the latter, however, so I'm basing my "data" (your word) on my experience and the nannies I know in person - not the anonymous posters here - who've been taken advantage of.[/quote]
