Ever hear of any nanny being successfully sued (for other than abuse, obviously)? I don't think so. |

Actually as a lawyer, it is pretty simple to sue. (If you have a signed contract) you would sue for the paid vacation.. Assuming you paid her before she left. And, any loss wages you accrued from missing time off work.
Is it worth your time? Depends on how much time you want to spend on it. I get it your upset. And if you feel it was planned, I am sure you are even more upset. So really it is up to you. Contracts are written and signed to protect both parties in the agreement. |

How quickly we forget:

OP, some of the posters here are crazy. Ignore them.
As a MB, my knowledge (and I am not a lawyer) you could probably as a PP said sue if you gave her extra vacation,b ut in an at will employment state, you cannot. And honestly, it's probably not worth it for you to do this either way. What you can do is tell any references who call you what happened. But you should try not to be vindictive. It sounds like you liked her and that she had some trouble. Future employers have a right to know, but also to make their own decisions about what that means. Good luck finding a new nanny. |
