[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We hired a nanny for a three month temp position with the possibility of it extending if we didn't have my mother become our daughter's primary caretaker. It's been two months and our nanny has missed 5 days for sickness ( strep throat and flu) and because her mother suffered a heart attack. We really liked her and she was incredible with our daughter but her reliability was an issue. [b]We want a nanny who won't take days off. [/b]We informed last week that we aren't interested in keeping her. We let her know we will have another nanny if my mother isn't available. She quit today and gave the excuse that she found a position that starts before this position ends. We now have a week to find a new nanny ( she gave us a week notice). My husband feels we shouldn't have to pay her for her last week with us because she is leaving. I feel a little bad because we didnt pay for any sick days and she is wonderful. The weirdest part is all her former references said she was very reliable and rarely took a sick day. Regardless of that fact..can we legally not pay her because she is quitting anyway or somehow take her to court for quitting before the position end? We do have a contract. [/quote]

Good luck troll...that is not going to happen. People need days off, even in temp positions. [/quote]
