[quote=Anonymous]MB here.  Your rates are fair, especially if they are the rates she quoted you and she's been with you for only 6 months.

I would have a calm, direct conversation with her.  Lay out the absences.  Be factual and accurate about the time she has missed, the number of days she is late, etc...  Then say that this is not sustainable for you - you need ontime arrival at least the significant majority of the time, and if the pattern of absences continues then this will not be something you are able to support.  Ask her to talk about whether she thinks this job and these hours are still a good fit for her.  Tell her you would far rather have an honest conversation about how things are working out, than to go through some extended difficult period.

See what she says.  Perhaps say "Ok, then let's see how the next few weeks go and plan to touch base again in a month."   And see what happens.

Or, perhaps you'll find out it isn't working and you'll need to move forward.  But I would be VERY wary if you are already seeing this at the six month mark.  [/quote]
