Term time only teacher parent is taking a month off mid term. She doesn't pay for school hols but this is different as it's term time. What would you charge ?her?

**Kiddleywinks** · 27-09-2012, 04:44 AM

Yep, it's no different to her having a sick day

**mrs robbie williams** · 27-09-2012, 05:55 AM

I would charge full fee

**amanda1309** · 27-09-2012, 06:48 AM

It would be full fee here

I would charge full fees, that is what I put in my contracts if holidays are taken out of school time then full fess, but if in school holidays I only charge half fees. Thats only for term time only contracts.

What does it say in your contracts?

I give my TTO parents a copy of the local authority term dates and make it clear that any holiday taken during term time (as per the LA dates) is charged at full fee. This is written in the contracts.

**jillplum** · 27-09-2012, 08:32 AM

Full fees here too.

**bunyip** · 27-09-2012, 09:06 AM

I'd charge full fee too.

Might need to check your contract and revise it if necessary.

Gosh, it's no wonder our contracts, policies, T&Cs get so big, when we have to cover every little eventually and define what we mean by "holiday." Phew!

I have a TTO family and Mum works in a different county. SO we have half term 22nd Oct, hers is the week after.
I have swapped her week but if she was to have time off in the year I would charge

**Tazmin68** · 27-09-2012, 12:47 PM

I would charge full as well and I also have in contract that should they wish to end contract the 4 weeks notice does not include school holidays as the contract is term time only. I had this as an issue when in August and after schoolie parent sent me a text message ending a contract in August and I did get her to pay up after explaining that I had lost out on possible after school children who were starting reception especially as she completed paperwork with after school club in the July as child had aleardy told me he was leaving when the school broke up.

Do you know I never even noticed, just read it as term time, that what happens when you have a husband and two sons with dyslexia

TBH thats why i read the post ...still no wiser

put me out of my misery

**jadavi** · 28-09-2012, 01:00 AM

Haha yes it sent before I'd finished the title!!
This is tricky as she only pays what she gets as shes a peripatetic music teacher so we did an open ended contract that specified no school holiday fee but didn't mention term time holiday! I think I'll charge her half fee to hold the place. Thanks for your advice.
