[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where are you? No blizzard is forecast for this area.  It sounds as though you requested she stay overnight for your convenience and, therefore, you pay her hourly rate and if it runs into OT, you pay OT.  This is a major inconvenience for her and her family.  It is immaterial that she isn't working.[/quote]

It "sounds" as though you don't know what you're talking about.  Nope never requested her staying here at all.. she decided to stay home, but when I gave her an option to stay at my house to ensure an on time start, I wanted to reach out to you kind folks on ideas of compensation.  She is free to stay here or wherever she wants as long as she is here at 7am which is in her contract.  Tomorrow we will discuss payment if she wants to stay in the future to avoid dangerous weather.  I'm in DC and weather will be fine, so it's a non issue as of now.  [/quote]

My problem with this post, is that there appears to be no allowance for really inclement weather, like streets covered with ice. I guess she would be required to ski to your home by 7am, according to her contract.[/quote]+1

I just watched someone on the mews slide into a ditch[/quote]. Some parents are truly unreasonable with their unrealistic bad weather expectations. I don't do ice, and I do not commute on roads that can't be navigated by foot or car. If you fall and bust your  tailbone, trying to get anywhere because of a contract, trust and believe that those parents would give the customary, "so sorry for you injury" speech, and quickly replace you.  after all, you are dispensable.  You only require unreasonable things from people you feel are easily replaceable [/quote]
