You should have in her contract that she can only miss a set amount of hours/days/per certain work period.....ie, so many hours in a 3 months period, so many days in a 3 month period, etc. Maybe 5 sick days per calandar year, or whatever is fair, after than they are NOT paid for, salary or not.

Do you have a simple contract that states her expectations? Her hours of employment, her job duties, her allotted time off such as personal days/hours or sick time? If not, you need to sit down and write up a simple contract and have her and you sign and date it. It needs to have the consequences of abusing the contract too. If she calls in sick over 2 days, doctors excuse must be given to you.

If you like her except for her not showing up for work issues, I would present her with a contract, she can like it or lump it and leave.

Things to put in contract:

Hours of work.
Job duties.
Pay.
Time off guidelines. Number of days-number of hours alloted off per year or 6 months or 3 months, however you word it. After alloted days are taken, pay deductions are made at *** amount per hour/day.
