[quote=nannydebsays][quote=Anonymous]Our nanny has been with us for almost 2 years. She's been taking care of our son ( 2.5) on a part time basis (about 20 hrs/week). We've given her benefits as a full time employee (holidays, vacations, etc). Now, she wants to leave as she needs a full time job. I can understand that. So, she's basically quitting. But she said that shed give me a month. I found another alternative for my son but I need to start immediately. Part of me thinks that she quit and I don't need to give her severance, but part of me thinks that I should. I want to be fair. Anyone has faced a similar situation? How did you handle it?[/quote]

You need to pay her the full 4 weeks. She could have found a new job and then given you less than 24 hours notice that she wasn't coming back ever. Then how would you feel?

She did the right thing, and being punished for doing the right thing really stinks.

BTW, how long has she been doing a not so great job? For less than a month? More than a year? Or just since she gave you proper and polite notice?[/quote]
