[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP of the teacher post.  You guys are making me feel better about what I think we can offer.

I was assuming that I'd offer.  I'll be honest that I'm basically copying from my own employer.

10 month contract.  40 hours a week guaranteed.

3 days at Thanksgiving

2 weeks at Christmas

6 or 7 days at Easter (whatever we're closed for, it varies)

All other federal holidays except for Veteran's Day, which for some reason we don't get off.

Any day when the county we're in is closed due to weather.

1 day PTO a month, with the understanding that it's for sick leave or things that can't be rescheduled.  So, things like PT conference for your kid, or emergency visit from repair guy, or attending a close family member's wedding, or dropping your kid at college are fine, but a weeklong cruise in February isn't.

Unused PTO paid out at the end of the 10 month contract.

Does that seem reasonable?  I can't really imagine offering less than I get, that doesn't seem fair, but I also can't afford to give more.

With that kind of a deal, can I get away with not offering the week of your choice?  The one place I would most worry would be a nanny who had their own child, because my school's spring break is usually different, and I could see a parent wanting to be off the same times as their child.  But if that came up, I think we could figure out something, maybe offer a week of unpaid leave and use that money to fly in a grandparent.  [/quote]
