[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a full time nanny I expect to get paid even if you don't need me. This is my full time job. I can't afford to not get paid if you decide to take a vacation. This should have been discussed during the interview process but since it wasn't you have two choices. You pay it or don't pay it. I absolutely would not agree to make up the hours on evenings or weekends. I value my free time and I am not giving up 40 hours of my own time because you chose to take a vacation during my regularly scheduled time. If you choose not to pay her I would be prepared to find a new nanny be side I would most definitely use that week to interview for a new job. I wouldn't feel comfortable knowing I'll miss a paycheck whenever yo
u decide to travel. [/quote]

This is exactly the diffetence between a full time and part time position. I have worked many jobs that wwere part time in designation with 40 hours per week. My brother is a line cook in a restaurant that closed for two weeks to remodel. Not my brother's fault, but they did not pay him but told him they might be able to find a spot in another store those two weeks. Look at all these furrloughs--no one is guarranteed 40 hours.

OP, you told your nanny the deal, your nanny pushed back. If you really don't feel that you should pay her, then that is cool, but be prepared if she goes somewhere else. I would also expect someone Ishorted cash to steal from me. And, next time, get a contract with terms laid out. These forums have great info.[/quote]
