[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So strange to pay an hourly employee who isn't working. [/quote]

Strange, until your nanny who has gone a week without pay because your family decided to take a vacation or has her paycheck cut because you took a Friday off, puts in her two weeks notice.[/quote]

Well, yes, just like any other hourly employee.  I really don't understand why nannies are treated so differently than other non-exempt employees, including ones who work at day care.  I've been there - didn't get paid unless I worked.  It's life.[/quote]

Most nanny employers don't have another nanny hanging out in the wings who can jump in and take on the extra hours when their one and only nanny quits. Therefore, they add perks to keep her at her job that other hourly employees don't get. If you've worked at daycares, then you also know they have a high turnover rate. It's a PITA for those employers, too, but they can cover while they hire more people, and saving money is more important to them than employee longevity. For parents who can't work unless the nanny shows up, employee longevity trumps cost.[/quote]
