Unemployment if one side of nanny share drops out

[Anonymous]

If one family in a nanny share drops out, yet the other family still employs the nanny -- will she be able to collect unemployment to recoup lost wages? This is in the state of Virginia and each family pays $15/hour.

I know you can for cut hrs so you should still be able to.

Yes, she lost one employer and paycheck.

No, she is still employed. Either she/you find a new family, she sticks with $15 an hour or you pay her more.

Nanny shares are a joint employment situation. Legally, she is actually still entitled for her entire salary unless you have a contractual one child rate.

And this is why all nanny shares should always have a contractual one child rate.

You can't collect unemployment while working.

I stand corrected. Looked into it and I was wrong.

No, the remaining family pays more per hour.

Depends on the agreement that was put into place.

If the contract is witten with a one child rate, yes. If not, the nanny takes the contract to unemployment and collects on the terminated half.
