[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So how does it work if you get 15 days PTO with no provision for paid sick days? Illness happens suddenly, vacations are planned. If she uses all her PTO for vacation and is then ill, presumably this time is unpaid. She may therefore decide to haul herself into work, and potentially give whatever she's got to my kids (I know, she may have already given it to them anyway) and/or more importantly provide sub-par care while ill. I would much rather her feel she has some paid sick days to fall back on so that she can take the time to get better and come back to work when she is ready and able to do her job properly.[/quote]

I posted a similar thought above, but this is expressed much better.  This is what sick days are for - so you stay home when you are sick.  I agree that if she's got it all saved up for vacation or has actually used all her PTO and she gets sick, then all of a sudden you've got a very sick nanny trying to come in because she doesn't want to take a day unpaid.  That is the whole point of sick days.[/quote]
