[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Was she fired for cause? What is the small print in the contract about the terms for which she’d get a full six weeks severance, which is 3x the average. Can the contract even be enforced? It might be better for the nanny to move on [/quote]

All contracts can be enforced, that's the whole point of a contract. They can't do anything about firing or laying someone off, but the contract conditions need to be met. If she wasn't for cause, then they must follow the notice period and severance clause. The standard notice period is 2-4 weeks for a nanny, most are leaning towards 4 weeks these days versus just 2 weeks. Severance is always for the unworked remainder of the notice period.

The reasons for cause are also always listed in the contract, so if it wasn't one listed, it likely isn't for cause. I'd never advocate for someone toove on from their rightful 6 WEEKS of pay, that could easily be $5000+. That's a lot of money for us, maybe not to some families but most definitely for a nanny.[/quote]
