[quote=Anonymous][quote]The kids are not in danger and she’s fine, but she held herself out as having more experience and a higher skill level than she does. We’re putting the kids in camp/daycare starting mid-June. - When do I tell her? How much notice? I really don’t want to end up with no care the first couple weeks of June. - Is providing severance typical? How much? This has been a very expensive childcare experiment, so I’m not interested in spending more than I have to. Thanks for sharing your experience.[/quote] Usually this is stipulated in the contract but two weeks notice or severance for someone in good standing who has been with you for year seems to be the norm. In your situation, I would not give severance and just tell her on the last Friday. It sounds like she isn't doing a very good job and is just sitting around or taking advantage of the situation. No reason to reward that type of behavior. [/quote]
