Employment
Agreements
In addition to handling all your
start-up needs, we provide you with an employment agreement as part
of our all-inclusive One Flat Fee
service.
This simple yet comprehensive agreement
contains important provisions
- listing your nanny's job duties,
potentially qualifying her for the exemption from California
daily overtime;
- specifying your nanny's compensation and other
employment terms to avoid disputes down the road;
- detailing vacation, sick days and
holidays (if applicable), including how such days are accrued and
setting limits on the number of available
days;
- providing guidelines for releasing
your child or administering medication, if
applicable;
- specifying how your nanny should
handle emergency situations;
- providing for confidentiality in your
household affairs;
- providing a hold harmless provision
and release of liability for tax issues; and
- confirming your nanny's at will
employment status.
This detailed document
deals with all aspects of your nanny's employment and is
tailored to your individual situation. The
agreement is straightforward, legally enforceable, and greatly reduces miscommunication
or potential future disputes.
If you already employ your household
worker legally and just want an employment agreement without
any of our other Legally Nanny services, please contact us for further details and pricing.
Severance Agreements
When terminating your nanny's employment, you may
want to consider entering into a severance agreement with
her. In exchange for a modest amount of additional
compensation to your nanny, a severance agreement
- releases potential and actual claims against
you according to applicable law;
- contains a confidentiality provision ensuring
that information learned during your nanny's employment
and the severance agreement terms themselves are not
disclosed;
- requires the return of all your property
(such as house keys); and
- prohibits your nanny from making any
misleading or disparaging comments about you.
This legally enforceable document allows both
parties to end the employment relationship on a positive note
without concerns about future liability or hard feelings.
Although a severance agreement is not
included in Legally Nanny's One Flat
Fee service, we would by happy to draft an agreement
tailored to your particular situation for an additional
fee. Please contact
us for
details. |
