[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'd say the demand is "work tomorrow or don't get paid." Semantics, I suppose. [/quote]

And if working tomorrow means traveling in what could have been unsafe conditions, you've not really given her a choice have you? It was spend the night at work to ensure you are here tomorrow, don't get paid, or risk your life to get here. Anyone else asked to spend the night at work would get paid. [/quote]

You obviously have never met anyone who has had to pull an all-nighter at their job to make sure they met a deadline.  If they are on salary, they don't get extra to stay there.  [/quote]

You are obviously not very smart. Nannies aren't salaried workers, especially not one who wouldn't get paid for a weather day. Hence the "stay tonight, or don't get paid when you can't get here tomorrow" issue. And being hourly employees, they ought to get paid, if you've mandated their presence at work. [/quote]

You're right.  Being told "if you don't stay and finish this project or you will lose your job" is so much different than "stay the night, or you don't get paid when you can't get here tomorrow".    [/quote]

Yes am right, and your continued sarcasm is only making you look silly. Salaried workers have deliverables. They have to finish certain things before their work is "done". Hourly workers are paid to do specific often repetitive tasks for a specified period of time. That is the difference, and that is why a nanny is not a salary worker. You cannot compare the two. There are no deliverables, no projects, and no deadlines. You pay her for her presence for a specified period of time. If you have her spend the night as a condition of payment in the event of bad weather, you'd best believe you should, if not legally have to, pay her. [/quote]

Thousands of people had to decide today if they should go into work.   Many of them had to go, or they would have to take some type of PTO, or, for others, they won't be getting paid for today.  Why should a nanny expect to be paid when many others won't be?
