[quote=Anonymous]The guy lost his job, that is absolutely something to keep in mind. But now the nanny is losing her job. No indication whether the MB works, I assume she does because they have a nanny in the first place. I second the poster who expressed surprise about the lack of basic professionalism. The parents are the employers and as such have a responsibility to their employee.

To the OP. I would do a couple of things. First of all, start looking for a new job ASAP. Second, re-read your contract and make sure you understand what it says. For example, is there anything in there that provides for changing the terms of your employment without notice, or with less than a month's notice? They're technically not terminating you, but are rather reducing your hours dramatically and changing the terms of your employment. Make sure you understand if and how your agreement deals with that. Third, I would try to set up a time to speak to your employers and essentially try to negotiate. I don't recommend suing to try to enforce your agreement, but you can use it as leverage. Express sympathy for their situation, but note that the reduced pay will be a hardship on you as well, remind them of the one month's notice provision, and ask that they pay you two weeks in full and during that time use reasonable efforts to help you find a new position (emailing their friends, posting on a list serv or website, providing a recommendation). I think that would be a fair compromise for both sides. Hopefully you will find something quickly. Good luck. [/quote]
