[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never round up if I was a minute over.  Sheer greediness.[/quote]

Its not about greed, its about respect. If you think you don't need to round up until 5:52:30, what motivation is there to show up right at 5:45? What about when you arrive at 5:53? Are you going to remember to round up then? If you get accustomed to arriving at 5:50 instead of 5:45, soon 5:55 doesn't feel all that late, then neither does 6:00. Do you get it? If you don't show up when you're supposed to, you pay for it. You don't eek out a few extra minutes here and there if you respect your nanny's time. That being said, I don't clock my employers down to the minute, but it is important to not set the expectation that you will not play fast and loose with my time. [/quote]

You can do whatever you want.  As an employee (and MB), I will not.  But not all of us can have high ethical standards.[/quote]

This is not an ethical issue. Telling someone up front what your policies and expectations are is actually the ethical thing to do. My employers know I expect to be walking out their door at 5:30, and to be compensated if it is their fault that I'm not. What would actually be unethical is thinking it is okay to ask your nanny to possibly work over a half an hour extra each week for free. [/quote]

A half hour per week? You really want that extra $5? So petty.

Even if this happened every single week of the year thats like $250.... Per year![/quote]
