[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had the same issue. [b]Even if OPM says government offices are closed, I am still supposed to telework. [/b]

Sometimes things are clear in DC and not in the surrounding area. I would never want to have anyone risk their safety coming to work. However, I think if it is clear and safe enough for you to pick her up at the metro or at home, then your nanny should come to work. If still not comfortable, maybe you could offer to  her use one of her personal leave days? We do the same with work. We have the option of taking unscheduled leave.[/quote]

I had this issue last issue with my bosses. I understand that you still have to telecommute, I really do. But if roads are so bad that your government office is closed, ie. it was deemed not safe to travel, its no safer for me to travel. Maybe something could be worked out, like she sleeps over at your house the night before or something, but if you're not driving you shouldn't ask her to. Also like you said, sometimes things are clear in DC, but not in the suburbs(where most nannies commute from). Picking her up from the metro on your side is nice, but she still has to get to the metro on her side, which may or may not be doable/safe. I fell multiple times walking on icy sidewalks to get to/from the metro last year so my bosses could telecommute. I assure you a nanny with a broken ankle is a much bigger pain/cost than giving her a snow day. [/quote]
