[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's only part time. Give her a week's notice that next Tuesday will be her last day. Write her a reference letter if you can. [/quote]
Thanks, Ms Nasty.[/quote]

There is nothing nasty about what I said. Most part time employees do not get benefits. [/quote]

NP, but while you may not have meant it to be, your post is nasty. It shows a serious lack of respect or compassion for someone who cares for your children and in turn your family.

Having a part time employee is not an excuse treat them as less than. Benefits and courtesy are 2 different things. I doubt OP would feel it "just" part time if she needed the nanny to get her work done, and was nonchalantly informed that her nanny would cease to show up to work in a week. Treat others as you would have them treat you. [/quote]

Okay, I disagree, but it seems you have a different definition of nasty than I do. Fine. To the rest of your point, I maintain my stance. One week of notice for a part time employee is fine. Firstly, no job is obligated to give notice when terminating the job. Secondly, although there's no such thing as job security anymore there really shouldn't be any expectation of benefits (including severance or notice) in a part time position, whereas it's expected an employee working full time will get benefits.

OP can do whatever she wants. She asked for opinions, and I gave mine. [/quote]
I'm not the poster you're responding to, but you certainly come off as a very self-centered individual.[/quote]
