[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The original post was back on 8/13. The nanny has been fired and moved out already by now.

This is one of the reasons why its better to hire a live in nanny with tenant status dependent on employment. Some people do hire live in nannies and then subtract the rent. In areas where live-in nannies make below minimum wage, this is one way to pay less. The live in is paid minimum wage for all hours worked but then the rent value is subtracted post-tax. In this situation, the nanny is paying a rent and it is a landord/renter tenant situation subject to higher laws than a tenant conditioned on employment or at-will. The above scenario is more economical to the employer but creates more difficult tax accounting and more complexity with termination. Room/board conditioned on employment allows for easier termination for the employer and pays higher for the nanny as the lowest rate would be minimum wage. [/quote]
Is there any jurisdiction that would allow an employer to put a live-in nanny on the street, without "reasonable" notice, during which time the nanny can secure a new live-in job?[/quote]
