invoices

[Helen Dempster]

afternoon all - hope you're having fun.

Just wondering, do you all give invoices to parents? Both my sets of parents have told me they don't want them, and they are great payers, never been a problem (other than one set of parents over paying me once!). I've respected their wishes, but now I'm thinking I have no record on paper (I've got old copies of invoices from previous parents). Just wondered if anyone has encountered this before and how you dealt with it?? Do you think I should just write up a contract, but keep it in my file?

Thanks guys.

I give invoices and keep a copy for my records as a couple of the parents pay a different amount each month.

I have just had my questionnaires back and 1 parent has said she would be happy getting a text or email so from now on I will still do my self an invoice for my records but she will get a text. Less ink, paper and time used:thumbsup:

You need to keep one for your own records, just don't bother giving them one then, it doesn't matter. But you will need one for your books at the end of year.

I give all the monthly payers an invoice but I have one parent who pays weekly and I don't give her one, it's always the same amount though.

As long as you have some record of how much is paid and when that will be fine

Thanks everyone, that's very helpful :thumbsup:

I don't give invoices as all my parents pay me the same amount of money every month on the 1st straight into my bank account.
