Every time parents want time off I always seem to have trouble with them understanding their contracts....
I feel Im quite generous really as I dont charge 4 my hols or theirs but only IF they give me 4 weeks notice, its not difficult, its written into their contracts, it just means Im not outta pocket iyswim!!
Anyhow, one mum turns up wiv lo this mornin who always does full week with me an says "we r off up north on thursday so u only got her 3 days, your money is in her bag" (normal!)
so Im thinkin bonus! 3 days work, 5 days pay, lol!
Unfortunately she seems to think this holiday will be paid 4 by me as has only put half weeks wages in bag, wat a cheek!! have text her to remind her that any holiday taken is charged at full fees unless they give me 4 weeks notice, no reply, surprise,surprise!! worse thing is, this mum just reviewed her contract last week and I reminded her bout hols etc!!
What annoys me most is that most of their fees are covered by child tax credits so they feel we/ the government should pay 4 their hols!
this has happened to me a few times recently but today I must be strong, Im available to mind so should be paid! what do u think??
