[quote=Anonymous]I'm a nanny for the last 13 years. I worked for numerous families. Maybe i was lucky i don't know. Every single family paid me guaranteed hours. It was never ever an issue until today. I have a contract with my present family. Usually I had 2 weeks paid vacation with every families. BUT if they came home earlier or they didn't need me for a day because they wanted to spend it with their kids or a sudden trip came up or a few snow days. They ALWAYS paid. The only time they didn't pay when I asked a day off. BUT that was perfectly understandable for me. Today my boss told me they will go away for two weeks in the summer and they won't pay. They already paid one week in March when they went to Florida. BUT this is only one week paid yet. I love their kids. But They didn't pay me for 10 days when it was the storm Sandy. The reasoning was: " We don't feel it would be fair to pay you when you didn't come to work". It wasn't my fault I didn't go. I couldn't get to their house! And anyway most of the time they were not home without electricity. And now this is the second "blow" in 7 months. I don't blame on anybody. I never put that in the contract because it was NEVER an issue before.... Now I learned my lesson on a hard way after that many years. Sorry for my venting but it had to come out....I hope anybody else learned a lesson:-( Just like me. It makes me feel kind of sad that people are doing that with somebody who helps them to raise their kids.....[/quote]
