[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've never discussed bonuses during the interview process in 11 years of nannying. That's not something you negotiate or put into a contract. A bonus is given when you have EARNED it. The majority of families I've worked for have given me 1-2 weeks pay as my holiday bonus, plus additional paid time off.

Actually, there are many people that do put bonuses/raises into the contract. Usually it refers to a holiday bonus that they give to their employees each year, that they will give an x amount of raise at the year mark after review, and then make conditions on other raises and bonuses that will depend on employees actions (if she does well above the usual amount of effort etc she will get x bonus).

This can be an incentive to the employee to keep doing their best and go above and beyond. They know that they will be appreciated for their efforts and get extra for it. Far too often people go above and beyond and get nothing for it, not even a thank you, and so the parents that put this into their contracts are smart as they will get employees that will be happy and keep working hard everyday. Then if you don't get a bonus you have no one to blame but yourself.[/quote]
