Arrival Time

[u/Pure_Explanation4606]

Curious what is a typical grace period for arrival? Our nanny is typically 5-12 or so minutes late each morning (my guess is related train times) We WFH but also go into the office so typically have to wait until she arrives to go get ready.

Sometimes when she arrives we are still getting baby ready for the day etc. (but I don’t think that excuses the timing)

We have GH, and we make sure to be home / come out to relieve her at least 10 mins before the end of the day. Occasionally as we are chatting she leaves +5 mins after her end time etc. but I’m always with baby at that point and feel like I make it clear that she should go.

Any advice? We have a shorter day on Fridays and am debating adjusting start time by ~10 or 15 mins each day to have additional time on Fridays..

5-10 minutes a few times a year at most? Our nanny has always been on time. I would modify the time so you’re actually getting your GH fulfilled. Right now you’re paying for at least an hour of time she’s not working. Or you could total number of minutes she’s late Monday-Thursday and then add on the time to her Friday schedule. She needs to work all the minutes she’s paid to work.

Yes hoping to add the time to Friday. Will hopefully be a win win - as we’re thinking about it seems extended Friday will be really helpful
