If you have to terminate your nanny immediately for cause (think CPS level child neglect cause), and the contract does not contain a provision regarding termination, do you pay guaranteed hours? Pay regular time but not overtime? pay nothing?

You don't lay severance for termination for cause.

In this in VA? If so, it's at will so you can fire for any reason. No severance is needed.

If you did have a clause (and you should next time) it generally says that X(2-4) weeks notice must be given to terminate the contract/employment. It would go on to say that nanny will be immediately dismissed for neglect, theft, alcohol/drug use, etc. If you are firing for cause, she is let go immediately without severance.

No severance for cause. Hand her her paycheck paid through that day on the day you let her go.

If it was really bad, you need to fill a police report.

its not police reportable- she failed to prevent an extremely preventable serious injury by not supervising child, and child ended up severely injured and hospitalized. Child will make a full recovery- not permanently injured- but was in a life threatening situation.

Yikes!!! I am so sorry to hear. I hope your DC recovers quickly. I don't know what the law is, but my gut tells me "no severance" for cause, especially when I child was in a life threatening situation and is now hurt.

I’m confused, if it was life threatening how is it not police reportable or CPS reportable? If it’s that bad why would severance even come up?

Almost drowned because of temp negligence fits these facts. Not police reportable if she was zoned out for under ~5 minutes, but that’s still way too long by a pool as her charge learned the hard way. Glad your kid is OK, OP!
