[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Employer here.  I would be wrong to terminate a nanny because she was unable to work an additional day that she was never contracted to work.  Legally, it is fine but morally and ethically wrong to fire someone who has been caring for your child well for three years.

I am honestly shocked this is even being debated. [/quote]

NO ONE IS SAYING TO FIRE HER. Everyone is saying that the family should offer her the extra day first, and if she can't do it, then they have to figure out if it will work out to keep her. The OP didn't say if the nanny is currently working part time, or a full 40 hours, or if the new schedule would change the hours as well.

I can't believe it's a debate that if a family's needs change, and the nanny can't meet the new schedule, the family might not be able to keep the nanny on. Her job is going to end sometime, anyway.[/quote]

All jobs are going to end sometime, anyway.  The family ‘s needs may change and she has already been accommodating - but adding a day is too much to expect.  Ask - fine.  But do not expect it.

[b]I can’t imagine if my boss/company asked me to work an extra day or face dismissal. [/b] I have a family to consider as do most nannies.  [/quote]

You can't? This happens all the time. You are generally eligible for unemployment if you quit under those circumstances, but it's hardly unheard of![/quote]
