Whether or not you pay her for time not there is up to you, but many jobs don't pay hourly workers who can't make it in due to inclement weather. Personally fir a once in a while thing I would give her a vacation day. If you like her, why wouldn't you.

Can you put up the IRS link that says that?

It's all covered in IRS publication 926.

My employers and I agreed to mirror the Feds on weather policy or if I don't feel safe driving. It's not set in stone, though. I've gone in when Feds were closed and stayed home when they were open. It's based on a need to risk assessment.

I may not be salaried, but my hours are guaranteed. They don't deduct for weather related days off.

OPM closed!!

Is there something special about tomorrow that would cause me to not go in to work? I think you are forgetting that this is now the general section of the nanny forums where people from all over the country post. The new regional sections are there for region specific questions.

Or since it might not have to do with just one region but a weather thing, like heavy snow, that happens around the whole country and others in different regions might be experiencing it as well. But not everyone is, so including WHY you think people might not be going to work in the post would be helpful.

I'm not the OP, but I do know nannies are considered hourly employees under FLSA. Not IRS, but true nonetheless that they're hourly employees and can't be "salaried" unless you state the # of overtime hours in the contract.

I really, REALLY regret not getting an inclement weather policy clause in my contract. Shame on me.

Why is she a crazy bitch? We don't even know if we WILL get snow close to DC tomorrow.

I realize that, but she said I am expected regardless. She will then tell me if and when I can go home. I'm not a child and can decide for myself if I feel comfortable driving.

Call in sick in the morning if it's bad. She'll get the message.
