[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP on this thread.  I didn't negotiate for sick or vacation days - I'll take my unpaid vacation when the employer family leaves town on their vacation.  I'm actually okay with that - it's what I agreed to - I'm just frustrated that every time they take the baby to the doctor or want to spend a morning with him, I'm told that they don't need me but will offer to have me work another time to make up for the hours I lost.

I'll know better with my next job.  But with this job, I feel confident now that I can ask them to pay me for the hours they decided they don't need me without working them off at another time as we did agree to a set number of guaranteed hours and a set weekly schedule.

Thanks! [/quote]

Op, if it is within the same week and you are able to make it, it should be fine. If you are not able to work at a different time, then they still should pay you the hours. In my case, 35 hours are guaranteed and nanny gets them whether she works 20 or 0 hours that week. But sometimes I ask her to change her schedule, example, work on a Day  X instead of Day Y, so I do not pay her extra because it is not her regular day. She still gets the minimum 35 hours. It's a schedule change for that week, not hour change. But I would not dream of asking her to work the missed hours from last week or last month.[/quote]
