[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want someone who isn't scheduled to work on Fridays to work the day after thanksgiving because you didn't hire her sooner and therefore don't have any other day to do a trial and shadow day?  No way would I work. I have a lot going on for thanksgiving and would not work last minute on the say after thanksgiving. [/quote]

This. Although, the fact she canceled on Monday and couldn't do T or W is also kind of a problem. It sounds like she never wanted to work last week (she had probably started looking forward to holiday plans while she was job hunting). I understand that, but I also think that if you want a job, and it's a good job, you make the sacrifice to make it happen.

I don't know, OP. It doesn't sound like she's bending over backwards to impress you, but you also hired her on a holiday week, and asked her to work with less than a week's notice. This is probably just a case of bad timing, but you'll have to figure that out.

I would suggest that since you can't do a trial day without taking vacation (it sounds like), that you instead make the first month a trial period. Either party can back out during the 30 days for any reason, no severance or extended notice (two weeks is the right thing to do, though).[/quote]

Seems like the timing may be rushed and difficult around the holidays.  Take a half day or late start on her first day so you can get her off to a good start. You should always add a block of time (2-4 weeks) of mutual trial time into the contract.  [/quote]
