[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don't have a specific snow day policy with our nanny (who works 3 days a week), but since my husband is federal, if the government is closed, I'm fine with giving her a paid day off. I want her to be safe, and she takes public transportation to get to us, so if the travel conditions affected bus routes I'd factor that in as well. All of that said--I have worked as a day care teacher and a nurse, both hourly positions, and in both cases, I was expected to be there or risk having consequences up to and including losing my job. And I have been offered the option to sleep on a cot in a room near the hospital with a couple dozen other nurses, which would have been unpaid, but would have prevented me from getting fired in the event that I didn't make it in the next day. So, that's not really unheard of. [/quote] Are you advocating the practice? Just because its done (nurses are kind of essential) doesn't mean it should be. [/quote]
