[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - a 4 week bonus is about $5K....that seems like a lot?[/quote]

Standard is one week per year worked.[/quote]

No it isn't. This is something talked about on this board, but I do not know a single nanny who received that (including myself).[/quote]

Also, when it’s talked about, it’s talked about in the context of severance. Severance doesn’t apply when an employee quits.[/quote]

Severance is not the same as a retention bonus or gift for a long-time nanny.  I don’t know a single nanny who writes a contract with severance as one week of pay per year worked.  That would mean no severance in the first year and only 1-2 weeks early on, but upwards of a month for a nanny who stays with a family for 5 years and is suddenly let go (due to something like job loss, presumably).  Most contracts seem to be written for either 2 or 4 weeks of notice/severance, and length of employment doesn’t matter.[/quote]
