Well... This ****s?

Nan-I don't know if it varies by state, but WI, for instance is an "at will" state, and it is not customary to have an employment contract. I don't know if one CANT have one, but most people don't. The closest thing would be to be part of a union, in which case there are things the union has negotiated.

I see what you are saying but in the end she choose a job that left her unprotected for the two weeks notice. She will have access to unemployment compensation. The provider will not.

If she knows she can be fired at will with no notice and she has a contract with her daycare... landlord... phone company... whoever... she needs to understand that she HAS to live up to the contract.

I have had trouble with this 2 -3 times now ... even from longstanding good dcp relationships! Maybe taking a deposit up front would get their attention, idk!
One dcp paid the two weeks only to "stop pay" the check a few days later! a reminder to us to keep business, business!

Now that is cold. Humm I hope that came back to bite her in the butt!
