[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the earlier poster re: trips to Cancun and aspen but it is a good point PP that points to why this needs to be part of the contract so it is clearly spelled out for both sides. Also agree that not negotiating for guaranteed hours up front in the hope your MB will later just agree is in very bad faith. That said it still strikes me as odd that an employer is oblivious to the budget pressure that no pay for weeks on end will wreak on a nanny. [/quote]

It also shows that if you as a nanny (well, not PP specifically, but in general) cannot be a professional and think about what benefits you truly want and ask for them when doing negotiations at the beginning of employment. If you fail to ask at that time, then I think that it shouldn't be asked or brought up until doing a yearly review and at a time when a raise might normally take effect. Since not everyone can give a raise after a year, switching to paid PTO if that wasn't originally in your contract could act as one.

I always make sure to discuss guaranteed hours and such for my PT positions since it is more rare. Most MB's understand the need for me to ask for it (since I do need a reliable and steady income myself), and most have always been glad to work something out with me. For the ones that won't, and if I truly need this to be done, I then pass on the position and take something else that does.[/quote]
