[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"If you neither allow your nanny to roll over or pay out sick days at the end of the year, your expectation that she simply forgo this part of her compensation is self-serving and unrealistic, especially those of you with government jobs and oodles of leave. "

you replied to me. I pay out since i'm a realist. That said, i do not find it at all "self-serving" to believe that a nanny should be capable of treating sick days as days to be used IF SICK (just as my non-gov work does with also no payout or rollover of sick days) rather than to pad her PTO tally.[/quote]

How is it not self-serving? Whose interest is it in to section off part of the compensation package as both use it/lose it AND to be used only in the best interest of the employer? (ie. stay home when you are contagious or otherwise not able to perform to her standards, but come in otherwise even if uncomfortable or mentally exhausted and checked out). Its certainly not in the interest of the nanny. Its convenient for an MB to designate leave in this manner to protect her own PTO and her pocketbook. [/quote]
