Termination Release Form?

[Anonymous]

MB's if you hired informally, do you fire informally or would you still want it documented as well as have the employee sign termination release form if you are giving them notice and severance?

Yes, if you are giving severance.

How long have you had the nanny?

Have you been paying on the books? If not you really need to make sure you end with the nanny on good terms. Just mentioning this as you said you don't have a formal agreement so wonder if you've been paying all hours and overtime legally.

Hopefully you've been paying on the books so this doesn't end messy. Try to end this as nicely as possible so the nanny doesn't go after you to the labor board or IRS if you haven't been paying legally.

You've tried to derail this thread twice now. What's your problem? What makes you think OP wasn't paying on the books?

I don't "hire informally."

If I hire someone there is a written offer and contract supporting whatever is agreed to. If I terminate a relationship there is a written severance document.

I don't require a release - there's nothing juicy enough to worry about protecting in our lives.

Shut-up and leave her alone. Most Americans hire domestics off the books. Good that OP isn't one of them.

OP didn't reply about paying on the books so I guess it was a legitimate point

Why are you firing the nanny? If it's for cause make sure to write in the letter why she is being fired in case she tries to sue you or get unemployment.

Or OP isn't sitting around on DCUM all night waiting to defend themselves from nuts like you!

I would want a tangible document on file in case things go South w/the nanny.

Better safe than sorry if you ask me.

Uh I don't think you understand the purpose of a release...

I wouldn't sign a release. My bosses don't pay OT so if they fired me for no reason, I'd go to the labor board. I have 4 years of records of them not paying 10-15 hrs a week of overtime.
