[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Coming in late every day, refusing to help your son....she's totally talking advantage. And she's only been with you 4 months, you don't owe her anything except two weeks notice. I would tell her you need someone reliable and punctual, sorry but we are letting you go and give her notice. Be glad you found out now rather than after you paid for her maternity leave. She will only get worse.[/quote]

MB here. It sucks, and will be painful, and she sounds like the type of person who might say some nasty things to you, but you have got to let her go and find someone else.

Otherwise, here is what you have to look forward to: another 7 months of lateness and not doing her job while she's there. At some point, she will start taking a lot of sick days, and you will be unable to enforce your paid time off limits because you feel sorry for her. She will take her 6 weeks paid leave (excessively generous for a new employee, IMO), and then take another 2 or 3, leaving you hanging before she quits, or insists on bringing her baby with her.

Bite the bullet now and end this. Just tell her it's not working out.[/quote]
