[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, it was not the employer's responsibility to discuss a benefit that she wasn't offering. It is the employee's responsibility to ask for any compensation that is in addition to the offer put forward.

You are basically saying that ANY benefit this nanny comes up with that the employer didn't explicitly tell her she wasn't offering, is now something that the nanny should simply receive. Sorry but this is not true and very manipulative. Nannies should be honest up front and ask for what they want, not play games. [/quote]

So let's say you interview on a job and receive a salary. Then in October they send out an email reminding everyone that the offices are closed for the week between Christmas and New Years and you won't be paid for that week. You would be ok with it because you should have asked if there are any times when the company shuts down? You don't think there's any responsibility of the employer to mention it?

I've been a nanny for close to 7 years (3 jobs) and I've never gone without pay when my employers didn't need me. I agree it should have been discussed before the job started but I disagree that the nanny is the only one to blame. [/quote]
