...but I kinda want to get rid of the girl who no-showed me. She called two hours late and said she overslept, and I just told her not to worry about it and did her job today.
And that's not really the reason why I want to fire her. It's a reasonably fluid schedule. 1 off day is not the end of the world.
I don't need her because when I gave her the job, she agreed to handle some of the minor maintenance. Since she was willing to do that I offered her a little more than the going hourly for straight housekeeping.
But over the last couple months she' s backed off, claiming she's scared to do some of the things, I get that--I certainly don't want to do those jobs-- but that was not our deal, and hiring a maintenance man was much more expensive.
She's doing a fine job generally, and I wouldn't mind having her around at $3-5 less /hour as a housekeeper, but right now, with someone else doing the maintenance, I don't need her. I'm not too proud to scrub toilets...so I can just work a little harder and eliminate her position, and then hire someone later for less $$ when things have grown beyond my ability to handle solo.
I'm wondering if you think I should just fire her for no-show (and how to do that/what that is like...am I gonna make her cry? )
Or
if generally competent people you wouldn't mind hiring in the future are rare enough that I should just not schedule her, and say things are slow aorn...then call her when I do need her for "Housekeeping job at $X/hr?" And see if she's interested?
so you are just letting her go to save $$$ ?
also, I will do it over skype for you if you like*
