[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that guaranteed hours are a standard perk for positions that pay under the table. It isn't as standard as everyone wants to think for above board positions but its much rarer for under the table jobs.

OP- you may want to call your nannies former reference and confirm whether she did receive guaranteed hours. Its likely that she never did but read or heard somewhere that other nannies get this benefit. If this is the case, she is lying to you and trying to renegotiate her compensation. Not good.

If her former employer did give her guaranteed hours, your still within your right to say no as you never offered it and she never asked. However, at least you would know that she was being honest in saying she received this in the past. [/quote]

Where in this post does it say anything about OP's nanny claiming to have received guaranteed hours?

Guaranteed hours are extremely common, whether paid above or under the table.
The nanny should have negotiated this prior to accepting the position.
OP-if you refuse to guarantee your nanny's hours she will most likely quit. I would.
Nobody wants to worry about how they're going to pay bills when their employer decides to go on a vacation.
A friendly word of advice- unless you offer this very common "perk" you will continue to find yourself in this situation.
Nannies will view your paltry salary and non-guaranteed hours as a transition job.
They'll wait for something better to come along-which it will-and quit.
