[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not get it why nannies should have ALL the federal holidays by default.  I am not federal government and do not work for it.  I am in IT and never had Veterans day of in my entire working career.  My nanny called me tonight requesting a free holiday tomorrow.  She seemed really upset when I explained that my husband and I are working tomorrow.  She has no problem having a paid holiday during the day after the thanksgiving when feds work and I do not[/quote]

No one is saying that its by default. But its up to everyone to be clear as to what holidays are being offered in the contract, because to me (and to most who understand the English language) to say you are offering federal holidays mean those recognized by the federal government. If you do not get all of those, or don't intend to offer them, you need to be clear as to which ones you ARE offering. Its that simple. I would not have taken my current position at the pay rate I did, had I realized how very little holidays/time off I would get. I wanted holidays that matched up with my husband's holiday schedule, and what's happened is each holiday one of us has to work while the other twiddles their thumbs at home. [/quote]
