[quote=Anonymous]My nanny, with 10 plus years experience, would like to include severance terms in our contract and I'm just wondering what the norm is in the Bethesda/Chevy Chase area.

She works 40 hours at $18 hour to care for 2 kids, 1.5 and 3.5. We are providing $300 towards car and healthcare, 10 vacation days, 5 PTO days and 10 holidays (1 week to match our vacation at end of Dec.). She drives and does some light housekeeping as it pertains to the kids. I feel like we are being fair, and I was surprised that it wasn't enough. We would do the right thing if we ever decided to part ways, and as a stay at home mom I would give her ample notice (ie a month or more). I will probably go back to work soon, but not sure yet. We were upfront with her when we committed to a year.

She wants me to add the following line: "If employee elects to terminate the relationship, there should be two week notice to the employer.  If the employer decides to terminate the relationship, employee should be paid a two week separation."

What's usually included in a contract regarding severance? If we gave her lots of notice and she found another job, would we still have to pay her severance?
