We are going away in half-term, while our au pair who has been with us since January, will stay at home. We have agreed that she can have 6 friends from home (Hungary) to stay for the week while we're away and show them London.
Should we pay her for the week while we are away? Agency rules state we should, as it is us who are on hols. However my hubby feels that we are allowing her to have 6 guests in our home for free, heating, lighting, free run of the place etc. We won't be leaving her any work to do while away (normally I have asked the au pair to do a huge "spring clean" if we are away and have paid her for this, but this au pair wanted to have her friends).
Don't want a problem to arise - she's not the best au pair I've ever had - a bit slack with her work, but not too bad all in all.
Thanks
