FAQ
Do I need to include state-specific labor laws in this agreement?
While these templates cover common terms, nannies may be classified differently by state (e.g., employee vs. independent contractor). Check local laws to add clauses like minimum wage, meal breaks, or overtime—consulting a labor attorney ensures compliance.
How should we handle disputes over sick days or no-shows?
Specify consequences in the contract, such as docked pay for uncalled absences or a notice period for scheduled days off. Include a section for documenting incidents (e.g., ‘3 unexcused absences = termination’) to keep expectations clear.
Can we add a trial period to test compatibility?
Yes, include a trial period clause (e.g., 2 weeks) with conditions for early termination, such as mutual agreement or unsatisfactory care. Outline whether pay is prorated or refundable during this time.
