Iv just reviewed the contract of my mindee who i have had for a year now.
Iv made a copy of it and highlighted all the bits where it stipulates stuff like 14 days notice for holidays or short term absence, 14 days to change contracted hours and all them bits.
Iv also highlighted all the contact details and written a letter asking them to confirm all he details are still correct and to point out the terms (14day notice for holidays or short term absence) of the contract they signed.
Iv also put in the letter that previously i may have only charged half price when infact contractually i had the right to charge full price due to the incorrect notice being given and from now on these instances are going to be stopped as im running a bussiness and that the signed contarct will be followed to the letter.
I was supposed to have mindee on Monday but mum text on Sunday to say that Mindees Dad was going to look after her (dad doesnt live with them, i think its the christmas time visit). Normally id just charge her half price but upon looking at her conract it does say 14 days notice for holidays or short periods of time.
Would i be right to charge her full rate for Monday then as she didnt say DD was ill, just said Dad was having her ?
I know i didnt have her for 2 weeks the other week as Mum had been ill and Nan come from wales and had looked after Mindee and collected her from school, but im sure Mum returned to work and didnt have all that time off.
Im scared shes going to think im picking on her cus it ws only the other day i gave her the letter to say things were changing from Feb 2010, but that was about how i charge the hourly rate.
I hate confrontation but i dont see why i should suffer when it clearly states in the contract the diffrent notice periods im supposed to have, and the last thing i want to say is " it states in the contract you signed". BUt i suppose at least she now has another copy of the contract with all the bits signed.
I sure she gets her childcare paid for or the majority as shes a single parent who works 18 hours a week, so she would still get her payments made to her ? And im sure she didnt let them know that she reduced the hours last summer anyway ?
Am i rambling ? Probably .....
