Let us set the scene: You just finished up Labor Day Weekend. This morning it felt cool outside and soon the leaves will start to fall. Autumn is here and you know what that means! It’s the holiday season. Halloween decorations are already out in stores, relatives are going to be reaching out to make plans, and you’re already starting to budget for Christmas. Holidays are the reason for this season! Oh- is that just us?
Well either way, if you employ a nanny, housekeeper, chef, driver, butler, etc…they may also be starting to think of the months ahead. We recommend a work agreement between both parties as a guide to refer to these exact situations. This is something we can easily provide our clients a template for, and it can help to have a map when you’re navigating through the sometimes rough seas of domestic employment. In said agreement, it’s best to outline all paid holidays off.
Maybe you’ll need extra help on the holidays. Consider offering at least time and half before even asking an employee to work on a holiday- especially a big one like Thanksgiving or Christmas. As we know, most people are traveling far, or hosting their relatives that travel far, and this may be the only time of year nuclear and/or extended families get to see each other. Know that during the holidays, any time you ask an employee to come in, is time and memories they can never get back with their own family. And how can you blame them for not wanting to miss that time?! So, especially if you are going to have family (and enough extra hands) in town with you- probably best to let your employee spend time with their own.
