Not in a very good mood..im totally confused and annoyed..not to mention stressed. Apologies
if there is a thread I haven't seen.
I've looked after a little girl for 1.5 years. When she turned 2 her mum asked me to take the funding 2 year olds receive. I was fine with it despite the long wait for payment and found it a bit of a faff with the forms etc but checked with another childminder that I was doing it right etc.
So payday comes and they forgot me, it went on for days with me stressing my rent needed paying etc and finally 10 days late (a total of 10n weeks later) I got my first payment.
Next from comes for the forecast and I fill it in and am due to be paid this Fri. A remittance comes through (which I ddint have last time) and shows a lot less than id been expecting. I send an email and today call the lady who deals with it.
She tells me that I should have been told that I wouldn't get paid for the first week I started it as the little one needs to be with you a whole term before they receive it? (Neither mum or I were told this)
I was told she is over her amount of hours 195..again I didn't know there was a limit
I have also been told that I wont be getting any for August due to the going over of hours so need to contact the mum for payment??
So not am I already stressed that a lot less money is going in but I have to now and retrieve some back from weeks ago and charge for August? The mums not very happy as thought due to her only claiming 12 hours a week its covered.
I do the streteched offer as seemed like the right one to do at the time but im totally lost on whether I should be doing the other route. Other childminders have been paid already and for more hours??
Anyone had any trouble with this?
