been talking to a lovely nanny about doing three days a week when i go back part time and she says she normally has four weeks' paid leave a year. the thing is, dh and i (both work at same place) get six weeks' hol a year plus eight lieu days, so what happens on the extra weeks when we are off - do we just agree that she doesn't work and doesn't get paid??? put like that it sounds unreasonable but on the other hand why would you expect your hol quota to nearly double?
and what would happen at a nursery? do you have to pay every week it's open even if you are on holiday? this is a whole new world and i'm stumbling along trying to find out how it works!
