[quote=Anonymous]Well, you were wrong, OP - DCUM is the place you will get attacked - hopefully along with some good advice. Ignore the silly harpies and just pay attention the the saner posts.

Here are the things I think you should negotiate:

- Guaranteed hours.  If a federal holiday like Christmas falls on her usual day and hours, she is paid.  If not - she is not.  No one will ask you to pay them for a federal holiday when they weren't scheduled to work anyway.  Also, you cannot say, "we don't need you on Tuesday even though that is your usual work day".  She doesn't have to work but you still have to pay her.  Pay or play.  
- Her vacation is generally two weeks after one year of work - and should obviously be payment for her usual part-time guaranteed hours.  One week should be your choice and one week should be her choice.
-  Personal time is generally made up of the hours of the guaranteed week.  If she works 34 hours, she should have 34 hours to use as sick and personal time.  Of course since she is part-time, she should make her appointments on her off days.

If you like her - talk to her.  She was probably nervous and sounded far more demanding then she actually is.  [/quote]
