[quote=Anonymous][/quote] I don’t understand. Why would she be involved in the money part of this accident? Our Aupair just wrecked our car. We have Geico insurance and other than giving her story to the insurance, she wasn’t involved at all. 
Why would she get a check?
Why didn’t her insurance cover the ambulance? 
Why would you even get her medical bills?

All of this makes zero sense. I can 100% guarantee if we called our LCC and said we wanted our Aupair to pay a $2k bill, she would tell us this is a ridiculous amount for an Aupair to owe (10 weeks of pay) and that if we didn’t want to gift it, we shouldn’t have paid it. They can negotiate a lower payment if they don’t have coverage but they company isn’t going to get involved in a personal dispute.

How well do you do your job when you hate your boss? 
Unless your kids are telling you she’s an amazing aupair who is super nice to them, I wouldn’t assume she treats them well but is clearly treating everyone else with disrespect.

Why would you pay $3K for the ambulance ride?  She should have insurance.  You are the problem.  Why did she get money as it was your car and insurance.  Give her two weeks notice and go into rematch.  Tell her you are deducting her pay from the money she owes you.  No more driving in your home.[/quote]

I'm not asking her to pay me 2k of her own money, I asked her to pay 2k out of the 3k she received as a settlement from the other person's insurance company. She has already received this money in her account. My insurance covered some of the cost of the car she wrecked, but no insurance covers ambulance rides. I paid her ambulance bill when we received it with agreement that she would pay me back if other person's insurance paid her..

Ambulance rides are an out of pocket expense generally but in this case, the person's insurance who was involved in the accident provided her with a settlement fee in her name so that she could use that to cover the ambulance expense, along with a fee for pain and sufferingso she doesn't sue the person who hit the car. Hope that clarifies things.

I have cameras at home (I disclose this always in interview process) and I know she does a good job caring for the kids even if she doesn't like me.

Fortunately this has now been resolved, thanks to LCC, though I do think she's mad I brought LCC into it. Sometimes it takes a third party to mediate though and I found it helpful in this case.[/quote]
