[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We just have a verbal agreement. Could I let her go and pay her two weeks pay? Should I tell her why I'm letting her go? I'm so nervous about it I can't sleep at night. I feel bad about letting her go because she is a nice girl, she just isn't holding up her end of the deal.[/quote]

If you feel she is not doing her job which was clearly outlined by you and that she agreed to, then I would go ahead and fire her. Or you can have a talk with her first and see if she steps up her game and changes, but frankly, for girls like this they usually don't. Don't pay for anything other than what she has worked for. She would be fired for cause, no need to give her a "bonus" for leaving. If you want her to finish out the 2 weeks, tell her so. If she leaves before that, don't be surprised (and you might want to have backup care ready just in case). She can be the nicest girl around, but if she isn't doing her full job, she isn't earning her full rate (which is great at $20/hr). Don't let her take advantage of YOUR kindness. Tell her she needs to start doing all of her duties or she will be let go.[/quote]
