[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are continuing to pay our nanny as well. We’re on the books, so she has the option to file for unemployment. We’re planning to pay at least through May or June, but what happens if this continues through September? What is a reasonable timeframe/notice?[/quote]

Ok I don’t get this at all... if the nanny isn’t coming in why is anyone paying anything ? Wouldn’t it be smarter to just lay her off then she could file unemployment for x amount of time. If the unemployment is 600 a week on top of the state ( let’s say $850 per week total) that’s way more than most nanny’s take home anyway. And then you can hire her back later if you both wish.  Am I missing something?? [/quote]

If you are getting paid then the idea is you would either pay your nanny (even if she isn’t coming in bc well, we are in a pandemic and you decided to release her) or lay her off so she can get unemployment. However, unemployment will more than likely not be the same amount the nanny is bringing in currently. I make more than $850 a week after taxes, so unemployment wouldn’t be ideal. The difference between being a great employer and a basic employer is treating your employer like you would want to be treated. It’s also valuing your employee and not taking them for granted.
