[quote=Anonymous][quote]If she is in violation of the contract, then you are well within your rights to point that out. Saying that she shouldn't be held to the contract because she didn't bother to read it before signing is absurd. You can let it go if you really, really like her otherwise, but in my opinion, this is the beginning of the end. Either she goes on this vacation in violation of the contract and of her verbal commitment to you and all future interactions are seen through this light and you grow more and more resentful, or you make her adhere to the contract and she gets grumpy and resentful because you are "mean." If I were you, I would line up a replacement before committin to taking off 2 weeks you can't afford.

+1. Even if you really like her the resentment of what she did will not go away. The fact that not only was she inconsiderate but also in violation of her contract is enough that I would find a new nanny.[/quote]

+2. If the contract states 4 weeks notice and she signed it, then she is in violation of the notice and you could deny the request. You need to decide if the three week notice vs the four weeks is enough to find a new nanny. Otherwise, there isn't much you can do if you grant the request.

If you decide to keep her and take LOP to cover for her, I would remember her inconsideration at bonus and raise time and likely not give either.[/quote]
