[quote=Anonymous]Like all other aspects of nanny compensation, whether a nanny will make up hours in this circumstance is a negotiable that must be considered by both parties in light of the overall compensation package.

That said, you should have negotiated this when you signed a contract.  You should have determined your total budget for nanny services, then figured out with the nanny whether to spread that evenly over 52 weeks or pay a higher rate but only for hours actually worked or work out a hybrid arrangement, like even pay for 52 weeks with some shifting of hours to offset the large number of paid vacation weeks.  Either way, you need to factor in all the PTO when setting her hourly rate or annual salary.

If you didn't address hours-shifting at contract time, I like the pp's idea of telling the nanny that paying her for your vacation time plus her vacation time will limit what you can do at bonus time, assuming that you did not guarantee a bonus in the contract.  PTO is absolutely compensation.  A nanny is never owed a bonus, so giving her the extra PTO in lieu of a cash bonus would be fine.[/quote]
