Calculating final invoice

[Rashi]

I think I may add that into mine.

Can I remove the 10% discount from the 4 week notice period as the girls are no longer with me?

I'd say "no". Subject to contracted terms, you are entitled to be paid in lieu of working the notice, so you can't in fairness ask to be paid any more for not working than you would've been paid if the children had attended throughout the notice period.

There's rarely a simply solution to something that has been allowed to develop into a complex situation. I have to agree with the early contributors who've said you need to work out a statement of: "actual cost of care provided plus payment due in lieu of notice period" compared with "payments received" then work out the balance.

No offence meant, but I see this as an object lesson for CMs thinking that 'averaged monthly payments' will always offer a quick and simple payment option.

It was the parents who wanted the fixed monthly payment. It didn't bother me either way but I won't tolerate parents calculating what they think they should pay. It's my business and I do the invoicing.

I have messaged you with my calculation but cannot email it over to you as I don't have your email address. Please pm it to me and then you can see how I did it.

Monthly fees are easy to do if you understand what you are doing.

I cannot see how you can charge more - only what it states in your contract.
