[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]" if you can only use 2 weeks max, I don't think it's a big deal anyway, because if the nanny takes huge chunks of sick leave, the parents will look for another nanny anyway."

It's a big deal because to avoid taking something away from my nanny it would need to be on top of the vacation time I already offer. It's also a big deal since I don't WANT to simply look for another nanny. I want to keep the one I have but ensure there's a reasonable understanding about how much time out - paid or otherwise - is feasible for me to handle. If the Bill were a PTO bill it would not be as big an issue; since it's just a sick leave bill it's WAY more generous in one area, while not seeming to credit employers who already offer PTO/vacation.

How often does your nanny get sick?  Write the contract so that your nanny has 1 week vacation after 6 months.  At the year mark, evaluate how much sick leave she took, and base merit raise and PTO/vacation on that.  I'm a nanny and in the last 5 years, I've been sick enough to need to stay home once; because I lived-in and the kids were sick too, it wasn't an issue, and I worked, but didn't do any of the normal things, just sick care for kids and myself.[/quote]
