Bonus for Cleaning Lady Who is Leaving Us? Yay or Nay?

My cleaning lady of 6 years is leaving us as she is getting older and cleaning houses is becoming too much for her.. she is looking into cleaning apartments in the city instead.
Tomorrow is her last day- she has always been reliable and truthworthy and she will be missed.. My question is.. I would typically give her a holiday bonus of one week pay, as she is leaving close to the end of the year-- should I be giving her an end of year/ leaving bonus or is it not expected?

I think if you've used her for six years and you're very happy with her work, it would be a kind gesture to give her a little something

I would. She has been with you a long time and the reason she is leaving is she can't do it anymore. I think it would be a very nice gesture.

I completely agree, given the circumstances of why she is leaving.

That's nice of you.

I don't ever remember getting a bonus when I left a jobChat Icon

also. Referring her/reccomending her is also a nice parting gift. Or writing up a nice letter of recc.

I think it would be a really nice gesture since it is almost the end of the year and the holidays are coming up. It sounds like she's also semi-retiring so I think it would be a nice gift.

It would definitely be a nice gesture and I'm sure much appreciated. It's such a strenous and underappreciated job. It's really great that you'd do that.

I personally would not - she is the one leaving you.

If her leaving coincides with a normal holiday bonus, I would not give anything additional.
