Hi all

I have a set of parents going on holiday for 2 weeks in may, shall i ask for the 2 weeks fee payment before they go or when they come back.
Or shall i ask for one week of holiday fee before and the other week when they are back.
Any advice please
Regards
Karen:confused:

When are you normally paid? Is it weekly in adavance? I would also say money before they go, chat with them and see what fits in with all of you.

Hi again
I dropped them a letter informing them that holiday fee's to be paid in advance this morning.
Inform you with what happens when they collect tonight, at least i have gave them 4 weeks notice in writing.

Hi all
Well on collection this evening, mum collected LO, nothing was mentioned about the holiday fee's.
But i will wait till Dad drops LO on Thursday morning, see if he mentions anything, but as i said in letter, i will keep too.
No getting me to say hey yeah i let you pay after you come back, i am learning that word No.
Speak soon with update.:laughing:
Regards
Karen

I have always had payment before they go away

For example baby is on hols (again!!) on 25th April - 13th May (:clapping: hehe) so they get there bill tomorrow to pay me next thurs as I get paid on 2nd of the month and they're not around

Does that make sense?

I find it embarrassing to ask this sort of thing of parents. silly really, but when it comes to money I just hate discussing with parents.

I've now put it in my contracts that where the payment day occurs during a holiday period the parent agrees to make their payment prior to the commencement of the holiday, unless they've already set up automated payments. I will take post-dated cheques too.

Hi all
Well thanks for the advice, when dad dropped LO off last Thursday he did not mention anything about holiday fee's in advance (LOL), just wait till the 8th May last day before their hols to see if i am given 3 weeks fee's. :laughing:
Will let you all know that evening.
