[quote=Anonymous][quote]I think you should give her a similar bonus you've given in years past. (I'm an MB - albeit a very softhearted one!) She is probably counting on the bonus as part of her annual salary or for xmas expenses, and even if she gets rehired right away she won't have the opportunity for a year-end bonus this year, so she's losing a big chunk of compensation.

A bonus is usually though of in terms of compensation for work performed over the course of the past year. It doesn't sound like you think she's done poorly - just that she's become a poor fit as the job evolved. So a bonus for the decent job she did over the course of the year seems like it's well earned.

If you were terminating her for something really serious that would be a different matter.

You should probably offer her some type of severance as well if you're not giving her a long notice period. We have 4 weeks for our nanny in her contract.[/quote]

Um, ignore this advice. It doesn't matter if she counts on a bonus for her expenses (already a sign of bad judgment on her part.). If she hasn't earned it, and in fact has done poorly, she doesn't deserve a bonus.[/quote]
