Nannies need to be paid for every hour they work!!

[Anonymous]

To the poster that keeps telling nannies to decline their pay when the job ends you really need to get a life. Even if the nanny just shows up and keeps the kids alive and house from burning down is still entitled to the money she earned while being there. Working for free is slavary which is illegal. If she abused the children that's a different story but otherwise you fire her, pay her, cut your losses, move on and learn from your experience. It is not professional for the nanny to decline payment.

It's something nice you can do when you aren't fulfilling your job duties. If you accept a job and decide to quit by the first Wednesday and MB asks you to at least stay until Friday so she can figure something out the absolute LEAST you could do is help out and not accept pay for work and services you aren't being provided. If you are too petty to do that at least tell MB to drop you down to minimum wage until you quit and abandon them.

This is a job has nothing to do with being nice. When an employee lets a nanny go without much notice or after the first few days/weeks they normally don't pay them to be nice. It's iften seen on here not to give severance which isn't gauranteed or legally required but you are legally required to pay someone for work they have already done

Yeah, you're pretty off your rocker there and I'm an employer, not a nanny. Every time you post this nonsense, you seem more & more like a spammer to me.

seriously, you are an idiot. why would you work for free?

So do you suggest Lawyers switching firms stop getting paid when they give notice? Or Accountants? Or Executive Assistants? Or Retail Clerks?

Or do you just let out all your crazy on nannies for some deeply rooted reason?

Why not just ignore them?

[Anonymous]

Posters usually call these people out in hopes that the moderator will see them and have them removed as this is an obvious troll

[Anonymous]

Also if parents see this they may try and justify not paying their nanny

We are talking about people bailing right at the start of a new job. Lawyers don't (or shouldn't) be paid just for showing up, when you get hired on you are paid those first few weeks, even thought you aren't providing much value to the company or firm yet, because you are learning and will soon be a valuable team member. So to continue your analogy, if a lawyer joins a firm on Monday and then decides Wednesday he doesn't fit in and quits I see no reason why he should continue to be paid for just showing up. He is providing now benefit or service. Same with a nanny who quits after a week, MB just paid you for a whole week even thought she probably took a few days off for shadow days and training and then you tell her your quitting and she has to spend days and nights scrambling and stressing to replace you. MB hired you to help her and give her peace of mind, so like I said it is honestly the least you can do when you promise to accept a job and make suggestions you are in it for the long haul and then you suddenly bail to just forfeit that money out of fairness.

MBs I suggest when your new nanny quits on you after a week that you promise to mail a check to them and then just never do it. They would never pursue it.

Haha, nope. I would report you to the labor board (which is free!!!) and you would be responsible not only for the money you owed me but the any applicable penalty fees. So try it, you would only screw yourself.
