[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would pay her, but remind her that "guaranteed hours" means that she is available to work. That means that in the unlikely event your vacation gets cancelled or is cut short, she will have to take those days unpaid so that you can hire back up, or come to work.

Before nannies say that's not fair if she's made non-refundable plans, that's what you do with your vacation days. Your NF's vacation, for which you're paid guaranteed hours, is a gamble if you do that.[/quote]

This. +1

I totally agree w/this answer.[/quote]

+2 with the caveat that your vacation time was known to her when she made these plans. If you decided on the last week of vacation based on the fact she was off, I don't think she should be paid. If she's just tacking on an extra week of unpaid vacation, then I would pay for the second week. Also agree that unpaid time off should be for emergencies only. To my thinking, that's part of the implicit contract with guaranteed hours. I won't cancel payment on you, and you won't cancel time (beyond contracted vacation) on me.[/quote]

OP here.  Yes.  She knew when we were taking vacation.  And I do think that she chose this particular trip with these particular friends because we were going to be gone for part of it.

Thank you.  I am feeling better about this.  And I will talk to her about taking unpaid vacation only in emergencies.  
I think that it was the way she put it....gave me a calendar with dates listed as unpaid, then suddenly "paid" because we were leaving for our own vacation that day.

If you lined up your vacation to when she'd be out, it's unpaid.

If she knew of your plans and lined it her vacation to overlap with yours, it's paid.[/quote]

Awesome game of chicken she is playing. How old is she?[/quote]
