[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So a nanny working 45 hrs/wk, would accrue 1.5 hours of sick leave per week, and a total of 78 hrs per year. That is a lot of sick leave - 2 weeks, of which 56 hrs can carry over, so by the end of year 2, a nanny can have 134 hrs of sick leave in the bank. That's a lot, especially if paired with vacation days. I think any household employer is going to cut back on other PTO if this goes into effect and/or start requiring Dr's notes for sick days so that it's not being used to just have more vacation time.

And the bill does state that it must be paid leave at the normal rate, which addresses another PP's comment, but the council recommends that it be amended to be unpaid for employers with less than 10 employees.  [/quote]

No, the nanny can accrue up to 56 hours per year, and can rollover to use up to 80 hours per year.  I wouldn't have an issue with providing a Doctor's note for any instance where I need to take 2+ sick days, but I don't think a note should be required if it's just one.  Or the alternative is to have nanny come in and send her home with a paid day.[/quote]
