[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem with the common sense approach is that many of us have worked hourly positions. It's actually quite rare in most hourly positions to be paid when you are not scheduled to work. Our nanny got guarenteed hours, and I agree its a good benefit to discuss. But I wish we could tone down the outrage when people don't know to discuss it. The onus truly is on the person who wants an extra benefit to ask for it.[/quote]

This is not the same as an hourly office position and we all know it.  That aside, if your hourly job unexpectedly closed or you were just told not to show up for a week, you would be pretty upset as well.  Yes, PTO is technically a "perk" but still one that is VERY common in this line of work, both OP and her nanny should have known this and discussed it up front, as everyone has pointed out. The fact that this didn't happen does not make the nanny entitled and manipulative, she is just trying not to get screwed here.  Bottom line OP, YOU are deciding you do not need her, she is not taking the week off. You need to pay her or you will find yourselves in very awkward waters when you return...if you still even have a nanny. [/quote]
