[quote=Anonymous]Does your contract allow for a certain number of sick days? If so, then call out sick. Your boss has a back-up care plan in place, right?

I really don't get how other nanny families think these approaches are workable. You don't get to call the shots on when your employee is "sick enough" to use sick leave. She's allotted 5 days of sick leave a year and as long as she's sick, whether it's a 101 degree fever or food poisoning or just a bad sinus infection, she gets to use those days and have them paid off. You utilize your back-up care service. Once your nanny exceeds her allotted number of sick days, it moves to leave without pay or she can use her vacation time, and after a certain point, if she's absent too often, then you find some one else. But it's not my job to regulate her use of sick care - I don't think this is bad enough, wait til the next round strikes. Not my job. It's also not her job to come in with a fever & vomiting because I just had the same thing and find it inconvenient - my job is to have back up care in place to cover her 5 days of sick leave, and 2 weeks of vacation a year. That's it. [/quote]
