Hi folks - could do with some advice on the following:
I was closed yesterday for 1.5 hours as I had to go to an appointment that I couldn't take mindees to. I usually open at 8am and I was home for 9.30am. I even picked one of the children up as he was being looked after by his older sister who is at college and doesn't drive.
My daily rate is £25, I am open 8-6 and both mindees contracted 8-6 but never actually attend 8-6. One mindee is 8-4 and the other 8-5.
I need to refund a proportion of fees off next months invoice but I have no idea how much. What would you do?
I was thinking 8-4 is 8 hours, £25/8 = £3.13/hr and refund 2 hours.
I have set my hourly rate as £3.50 but never really charge this as I have always charged a full day rate so I don't lose out.
