[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I would be really irritated if our nanny asked me on Monday for the extra weekend pay. In all likelihood the aunt's funeral wouldn't even have occurred yet. I'd view the nanny as insensitive and self-centered. These were extra hours and should be paid, but this is not the MB forgetting or refusing to pay for the expected weekly check, which would legitimately be worth gently requesting as presumably the nanny would rely on that regular income. For extra income, she could wait a week and have some sensitivity. This would make me pretty resentful toward the nanny given the circumstances. [/quote]

Here is the crux of the issue, YOU see it as an issue of extra income, most nannies see it as a huge favor and a lot of overtime worked  (and likely not something that they are thrilled to do). Thg MBs here seem to think that nannies should just be happy for the extra money and not worry about when they recieve it. Many nannies would be more happy not working at 4 am, and if they did, being paid for it promptly, not being put in the very uncomfortable position of needing to make sure they are going to be paid at all. Sympathy does not extend into the realm of being walked all over, and YES, getting snippy with an employee asking to be paid is far more self-centered IMHO. [/quote]
