[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Generally in this type of situation the employers give two weeks notice. If it were reversed, and she was quitting, wouldn't you have appreciated two weeks notice?

I know you say that she doesn't "need" the money, but honestly you don't know her finances, bills, or plans. I know you say it is easier for the new sitter to start right now, but if you really don't want her to work the next two weeks then you should pay her for the time (call it severance). It sounds like maybe you've given her one week notice, so in that case perhaps it would be one week paid plus one weeks compensation. Consider yourself lucky that she's only working six hours per week now, since that's all you'd be paying her for. That would be the "right" thing to do, IMO. [/quote]

Agreed. It isn't for you to judge whether she relies on this income or not. Two weeks notice is standard, especially if you'd like to part amicably. The way you've approached this likely has her feeling as though she's done something wrong. Your needs have changed, and so have hers. This is a fit issue, not performance, so I don't think it was fair of you to make this so abrupt. [/quote]
