[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't "hire informally."

If I hire someone there is a written offer and contract supporting whatever is agreed to.  If I terminate a relationship there is a written severance document.

I don't require a release - there's nothing juicy enough to worry about protecting in our lives.  :-)[/quote]

Uh I don't think you understand the purpose of a release...[/quote]

Oh, you a mean a release so I can't be sued?  Not worried.  I hire, pay, manage, and terminate legally.  There would be no grounds for a lawsuit that would concern me.[/quote]

You still don't get it :)

Release is a heavy deterrent to frivolous lawsuits.  It doesn't matter if you have done everything perfectly you can still get sued.  This is true even with a release but release will add one more barrier.[/quote]

I get it.  But I'm not paranoid and I don't think nannies are prone to filing "frivolous" lawsuits/  Even if a nanny were to sue me it would be in small claims court and I would have no trouble defending myself and might even enjoy the process.  I would have zero problems with anyone scrutinizing my employment practices.  I don't need a release for hiring a nanny.  When I fire a senior executive you can damn well bet I get releases but that's a very different scenario.[/quote]
