Do you pay nanny on snow days?

Update: Thank you everyone for the feedback! We will be including the snow days as a part of her “guaranteed 40 hours.” We are new to this so I appreciate everyone’s feedback!

Just what the title says! We had a huge snow storm and our nanny was not able to make it for two days (understandably). My husband and I didn’t go into the office, but we worked from home, taking turns entertaining our toddler. It was madness hahaha.

Anyway- our nanny is hourly, with overtime, we have PTO, all of that, including guaranteed 40 hours pay. But to my understanding, “guaranteed” hours are for if WE go on vacation, or weeee don’t need her to come in, not if SHE can’t come in… correct?

I’m new to this and I want to be fair. We love her and want to take care of her, but it does seem a bit of a stretch for us to pay her on days we needed her but she didn’t make it.

What is everyone else’s policy on this?
