[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had to wait three months for my one-week vacation to become available to me. PTO was available on an accrued basis until 3mo as well, then it all became available.[/quote]

This seems reasonable.   Making them accrue every day before they take it doesn't seem fair, unless you allow the nanny to roll over a substantial amount of unused days.  Otherwise, the nanny could never take a substantial vacation until the end of the year.[/quote]

I'm the one who accrues at the rate of one day a month.

I hear this objection, but I can't afford to pay for more than one nanny's two weeks of vacation a year, so it is a juggling act.

After 5 months, she has an entire week's vacation saved up, or she can ask for time off ahead of time and take it unpaid or maybe ask to make up hours.

I also allow all unused PTO to roll over to the following year, so it's only the first year when paid vacation time might be tight if she doesn't want to plan ahead.

On top of that, she of course gets plenty of paid holidays which she could combine with PTO for a vacation before she has a lot of days, and she has no duties if we're out of town, and we have to plan vacations well in advance for my husband to request leave.[/quote]
