I think her being a friend she would have even more of a appreciation for the changes you are making. IMO, this is the best thing you could ever do for your children. The sooner the better... I'd pay her for the rest the week and the next and be done with it. Not that I have ever been fired or laid off but I've never seen anyone get a notice in advance... It's just how it is.... Its not like she has done anything wrong. If that were the case then it might really be awkward....
Do it the modern way. Shoot her a text and put the money in her pay pal account. Seriously tho, I've had to let several people go. Being honest is the best. A simple explanation and two week severance is more than acceptable. Sent from my Desire HD using Tapatalk 2
Tell her your brother-in-law is moving back in and you can't afford to pay her to take care of both of them !! :p I am pretty sure she will understand when you explain it to her. Pay her like you are going to. Tell her you will gladly giving her a great reference for her future job. Good luck !! Tim
I think you're worrying too much & trying to complicate things... she probably knows you'd like your kid in the school and have intentions of getting her in there. Now the opportunity has opened up. Do you really not need her at all anymore? what about those days when schedules are complicated and the kid needs to be taken to school or picked up and watched for a few hours? what about the next time you want to go to the movie with your wife? I was going to add that hunting season is coming up and your daughter might need tending to while you're in the woods to give your wife a break, but you don't hunt...
All you owe her is an honest explanation of why her services are no longer needed. I would also strongly consider two weeks severance pay with the assumption that she would have extended the same courtesy of the positions were reversed. A letter of reference and recommendation for her services at the time you pay the severance is also appropriate
