[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree with PPs.

Tell her to take tomorrow off.

If you do offer PTO, remind her that this is what it is for and to please call out sick if she's ever not feeling up to working.

If you don't offer PTO, consider why you don't feel that's an important benefit to give another human being who might encounter emergencies like ruptured ovarian cysts.[/quote]

Many jobs don't offer paid time off. It's life and if OP's nanny is part time then it's normal she wouldn't get paid. Important benefit my a**![/quote]

You don't think paid time off is an important benefit? Really? I'm not asking if every job offers it, but I can't believe an actual human being would dispute its importance. "That's life"?? Yeah so is pollution and drunk driving and the enormous class divide, but we try to fix those problems too, just as we should try to fix unfair or even cripplingly bad employment offers.[/quote]

I agree with pp that PTO for a part-time worker is not the norm and should not be expected.  To say otherwise is doing a disservice to those new to the job market. [/quote]

My experience has been otherwise; I've received less PTO in PT jobs, but have always accrued some as I've worked. Regardless, I did not say it was the norm. I said OP should think about why she doesn't offer any, if indeed she doesn't.[/quote]
