VoyForums Announcement: Programming and providing support for this service has been a labor of love since 1997. We are one of the few services online who values our users' privacy, and have never sold your information. We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Subject: Re: What is typical? Author: Tonya Sakowicz [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 20:33:47 09/29/03 Mon Read my responses to Sylvia below, who is a parent asking about this same topic. Tonya >If your family takes a vacation you are supposed to be >paid the same for that time just as if they were there >and you were working. It is not your choice that they >go away at that time so you deserve to be paid. The >family can't make you take your vacation the same time >as they take theirs... they can ask you to coincide >your vacations but they can't make you. The only way >it would work where their vacation time and yours are >the same is if one or both of you choose to make your >vacations at the same time. So to answer the last >question clearly, no their vacation time can't be >counted against your vacation time unless you agree to >it in advance. > >>I am doing some research to find what is typical in >>the nanny field. >> >>The only mention of a vacation in my whole contract >is: >> >>"VACATION. Caregiver shall receive 2 weeks of paid >>vacation every contract >>year, taken at her discretion, with at least 2 months >>advance notice >>provided to the Family." >> >>I am a salaried employee who is paid semi-monthly. My >>questions are as follows: >> >> >>What happens when an employer takes a vacation other >>than the 2 weeks chosen >>by the nanny? >> >>Is it typical for the nanny to be paid or take this >>time as unpaid? >> >>If an employer pays a nanny while the employer is on >>vacation, is this time >>typically counted as the nanny's vacation days? >> >>Thank you!
