[quote=Anonymous]PTO: Earned time (frequently accrual vs automatic), stipulated in the contract that the nanny will be able to use it, possibly with conditions attached about length of notice required before using it
Bereavement days: UNEARNED days (ie. available as soon as the trial/probationary period is over, possibly even within that period), frequently last minute notice

PTO: guaranteed usage
Bereavement days: most people don't need to use these more than every couple of years, if that

PTO: frequently rollover and/or payout for unused days
Bereavement days: there if you need them but nothing if you don't

If your contract doesn't require any notice for PTO, fine.  My contract separates PTO and sick leave, and I have no problem with long notice periods for everything except sick leave... which is why I have unlimited sick leave, 3 weeks of vacation and 1.5 weeks of PTO in my first year with a family.  Oh, and I have the option to rollover or have unused PTO and vacation paid out, my choice as to which.

I also have 1 week each of paid and unpaid bereavement pay per family death, if I'm the executor; the tradeoff is that I apprise my employers of my family's hospitalizations as soon as I receive news, that way if the worst happens, they had the same amount of notice that I do.  So far, it hasn't been needed, but I know it will be eventually.[/quote]
