peregrine8 Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 I hired a nanny on a temporary bases and she is not working out. I am now looking for a new nanny. What kind of severance is expected here. I am told just let her go but i do not think that is fare. Any recommendations would be great. I can not give her a reference because she is horrible with children. Thanks peregrine8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boo Posted May 15, 2009 Share Posted May 15, 2009 just give her what you think is fair. A month or 2 weeks salary is more than fair as she was on a temp basis anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scorecard Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Depending on how clear the 'temporary' aspect was made when she started, It might be worth ensuring the separation is very amicable. For example, by saying: "Circumstances have all changed and we no longer need a nanny", or something similar. This could also help with the loss of face aspect. My suggestion is one month, which is probably not so expensive for you but means a lot to her to help her move on and shows some caring on your part.

LaReina Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 depending on the length of time she has worked.. if more than 3 months, I think then by law you must give a month minimum. For no drama give her two weeks, if she fusses make it a month, so that she feels she was in control, even though you were planning on giving her a month anyway.

JAS21 Posted May 24, 2009 Share Posted May 24, 2009 I can only advise on a maid leaving...my wife would insist that she goes the day you inform her or she informs you. Her reason, if you give notice then later you will notice some of your stuff has gone missing. As to payment you have already been given some idea. Hope this helps.

weescotsguy66 Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Again depending how long she has been with you, oif one month give her one weeks money no notice, if 2 months give her 3 weeks money and finally anything more than 3 months give her one months money. No notice should be worked just let her go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSnake Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Depend on why she is not working out for your needs. If yes is plain old Lazy bottom, nothing, otherwise I would at least give her three weeks pay and a reason for let her go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
