[quote=Anonymous]I am starting a new job soon. We are in the process of going over the work agreement. I have worked with two other families, both required four weeks notice from either party and included a severance if I was let go without notice. I suggested the same to my soon to be employer. However, they rejected the idea. Instead the agreement says best efforts will be used to give advance notice of any intention to terminate the arrangement.

I am not sure whether I agree with their approach. On the one hand, it is equally liberating for me because I could easily back out if I were unhappy. But I can't imagine myself doing that. Even when I am roaring to leave a job I always feel like the kids deserve a respectful transition. Also, it is a lot harder to find a new job without a reference then to find a new nanny, I might need a severance payment to hold me over while I look for work. I am worried that the burden of not having a clear notice requirement will be heavier on me then on them.

Any insights on whether I should ask for a notice requirement with more clarity?[/quote]
