[quote=Anonymous][quote]But then the nanny shouldn't be expected to provide a car for her NF once hers takes a crap because her new car will probably last longer than her nanny job. This argument can go both ways.[/quote]

I'm 9:53 and I'm not sure if you are responding to me or someone else, but, if you are responding to me, then no, the argument does not go both ways.

If a nanny accepts a job involving driving and using her own car, and she agrees to that job requirement, then she absolutely has to have a car to meet her job requirement. If her car dies, she needs to get a new car, for her own life and to meet her job requirements. The only thing her employer is obligated to is paying the IRS reimbursement rate. That rate covers fuel and wear and tear. If she can't have a car to meet her job responsibilities, she has to either renegotiate her contract or find a non driving job.

I have had jobs that require driving and there was no such thing as a company car to give me. I was reimbursed at the IRS rate. If my car died, my employer wouldn't hesitate to terminate me because, simply, I can no longer meet the requirements of the job. My company wouldn't be expected to pay anything to my new car, nor pay for detailing.  You can debate all day on whether you like policies and contracts and using your own vehicle. In the end, the only thing that really matters is the contract. If you agree to drive your charges in your car and contract for that and fair compensation, then you have to provide the car and any extra upkeep you want, you need to pay for.

Before you (or anyone else) gets snarky and insulting, my nanny doesn't not drive on the job as we are super close to Metro, so there is no need to make assumptions about what kind of MB I would be in this situation.[/quote]
