[quote=Anonymous]Shy did you increase her pay? So that she would gross the same amount for fewer hours not doing what you originally budgeted that money for? That was an odd decision, but it's done.

I think that you can tell her that unfortunately, this isn't working out for you. You need the job to be x, y, z, all completed within these specific hours. You've adapted the job to fit her needs, but now you realize it really isn't fitting yours.

Then tell her that you're planning to relist the job. You will probably list it at $25/hr for someone who can do what she does and cook, and who is better able to pick up new tasks, and who can more often work the earlier hours.

However, you feel badly that it's not working out, and if she would like to stay, you can offer her the same job she has now, but back to $20/hr..

Give her a month's notice and/or severance. You will feel so much better if you do this!

And then you'll either have someone better (I hope you go this route) or a little more money in your pocket to do things like buy take-out.[/quote]
