[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a note: I recently fired a nanny in VA. In my mind it was for cause: she was texting way too much while with the kids, stopped following directions and told me that she was trying to get new job elsewhere. I did not do a good job documenting all the warnings and conversations with her on how we dont like her work. I did pay her 2 weeks severance. Anyway, she filed for unemployment benefits the same day and the unemployment office cited with her. Now my unemployment tax rate for new nanny is much higher, so I'll be paying $500/year extra in unemployment taxes as long as I continue having nannies. So, if you are firing for cause you might want to make sure there is a written trail and that is clear to the nanny what she did wrong/not per contract. [/quote]
written trail does not necessary mean that the nanny will not be able to claim unemployment.
Unscheduled PTO days and 'does not connect with older' but is great with baby are not really reasons to deny unemployment. [/quote]
