Had a parent come friday and sign a contract to start 25th march.
She has just had the place she has a new job (which is why she needed the care) dont want her to start until end of april.

What do i do. Shes really worried and asked what to do. I had an assistant lined up to start for then. Nothin signed yet for her to start....and.was going to.be making a.loss anyway.

I use my own tweaked version of mm contracts. Which says contract can be canceled with immediate effect within the first 4 weeks. Which she can do.

I.feel like saying i will.need to keep space open so half fee is needed to keep space open.in that time...

Opinions?

She really has 2 choices she either cancels as per your contract of no notice and calls you again in April and hopes you have a space, or she pays you a retainer from original start date. Its only 5 weeks from original start to new start you could use that time as a good settling in period building up from an hour or two to a 1/2 day.
