[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Severance has nothing to do with length of employment!  It’s to help the employee bridge the time between termination and a new job.  I would think two weeks is the minimum.

Severance actually has everything to do with the length of employment.  And there is no right to it unless agreed upon between the employer and employee.  [/quote]

Really?  So how much severance do you give for an employee has been with you for ten years?

Severance has nothing to do with length of employment in any industry.  For OP, the nanny didn’t work out.  Give her two weeks pay and be on your way. If the nanny felt the same about OP and the job, she’d give two weeks notice.  [/quote]
DP here, and this is just wrong. I don't even know what to say. Severance is almost always based on a formula related to length of time on the job, level of seniority, and salary. In pretty much any other setting, 3 weeks employment would never entitle a person to severance.[/quote]

In what industry?!  Severance is given when someone I’d fired and has zero to do with length of employment.  WTF do you work?  [/quote]
I work in tech...and because a sibling is a lawyer, I happen to know several employment attorneys. Tech is actually more generous than some industry.

WTF industry do you work in where you live in the delusional world that severance is customary and given regardless of length of employment?! In the 21st Century, I've honestly never heard of such a thing...least of all in a situation where, as OP has stated, there is no contract stipulating otherwise.[/quote]
