[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]22:12, you are missing the point.  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, which is not a reasonable assumption unless a certain number of days of paid time off is priced into the hourly rate, just as it is priced into a professional's salary.

It is true that salaried employees have guaranteed minimum hours, meaning that we get paid for a full week whether we work it or not.  But we don't get paid for hours we work over and above a standard week.  In other words, we don't have a "separate hourly rate" when we have to work overtime to make up for our salaried time off.  You do, and the cost of that benefit is either schedule shifting in lieu of guaranteed hours, or a lower rate to offset the "separate hourly rate" we have to pay you for hours over and above your usual week.

Yeah but you're choosing to take a week off knowing fully well that you will have extra work. Nanny is not. She doesn't choose to be off a week, her employer does. I understand the rest of what you're saying though.[/quote]

Yes, but the nanny was presumably given an estimate of how much unpaid time off she would have each year, and she chose to take the job anyway.  Not a bit of difference, really.  [/quote]
