Notice and Severance
Once the decisions been made to let a nanny go no matter what the reason, careful consideration should be given to what type of notice is required and if severance pay is necessary. This might be spelled out in a contract, or there may have been a verbal agreement. As a rule of thumb, an employer should always provide as much notice as possible and provide adequate severance unless there was any kind of criminal wrong doing involved. Knowing when to pull the plug on a nanny is not always easy, but as long as you know when and how to do it the children will be better off down the road.
