After politely letting her go (more than she deserved) with an extra days pay, I am getting several texts a day from ex "nanny" (of course another unqualified useless person which is all I could afford) demanding an extra weeks pay, mentioned in the contract somewhere. Point is, she never signed it, or if she did, never brought it back for us to countersign (there are several blank lines to fill in or sign on it, and I never saw it again after handing it over to be looked at and discussed), or provided any of the details needed to do the tax forms for nannytax, or even provided an address, all as asked by me more than once in the first week. By the second week (10 am on 3rd actual day of work) I had decided I was not happy on a number of fronts and so I would have to give up on so-called nannies and go part-time at work myself (still trying not to be despondent over that). Now I am getting threats of court, tax etc. all by text. I was contemplating paying up a bit on provision of the NI etc. details so I could at least get the tax issues straight (I am actually a stickler for that). The pay in the contract is gross so, even if I had out of kindness paid up, I think I would have been within my rights to deduct emergency tax. Now, I am too angry and feel quite determined not to pay a thing.
DH says this texting shows that I was right about her instability....though maybe this is just how people communicate now? Is there any way I can save these texts as evidence? Is this stalking? I feel very upset and afraid as well as cross.
