[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’ve been a nanny for 10 years. I’ve worked 4 long term positions and have always been very reliable. Some things you can’t control. The mom knows I was injured because it happened at work. They have very slippery stairs and did not let me know the housekeeper just had mopped and shined them. I went to walk down and completely slid down the steps. I worked the rest of the day in pain and she could see and let me go home early. I went to the emergency clinic right after work. I’m not debating whether they had the right to let me go. It was within their rights to do it. I’m just more bothered by the mom being so mean and making hurtful comments. She has also made little comments about my weight ( 15lbs overweight and working on it) that have been hurtful. She was very unprofessional to me. They still haven’t paid me but I’m taking a loss at this point. I’m over the situation. [/quote] Not what you asked, but just so you know, you likely have a worker's comp claim. As your employer, the family should have provided you with information about your rights and how to file a worker's comp claim. They were also obligated to carry worker's comp insurance. If I were you, I would email them to ask about worker's comp and I would contact the department of labor to find out your rights after being injured on the job. You may also want to consult a personal injury attorney. Consultations are usually free and personal injury lawyers typically work on contingency (you only have to pay if they recover money for you -- usually around 40% of whatever they recover). [/quote] This. Not only was your family in the wrong, they may be liable for your medical costs and lost income. If they were nice, I’d say let it go, but since they’ve been dicks I’d go after them for it.[/quote]
