HI just a bit of advice, I collect payment by bank transfer so it is instant.
One set of parents, money shows as credited in my account yesterday as promissed.
The second set, there is no payement showing , and they are due this morning after the bank holiday. I have an uneasy feeling about these parents, as Dad just litteraly throws baby at me in the morning and before i can say anything is gone.
I have stipulated in my contract and policies that payment is in advance, no payment no care, and which day money needs to be cleared by. Parents asked to pay every 4 weeks from this week as they now get tax credits, so should have been due on 4th and asked for payemnt to be cleared for this aday , as they would have got tax credits early with it being the bank holiday.
So should have been able to pay over weekend to clear for monday.
Now i am waiting to see if they turn up, and what I should do.
do i teext this morning and say that payment has not cleared, so unable to have their little one until it is done.
do i wait for him to turn up and do the same thing?
or do i say needs to be cleared for this evening or no care tomorrow.
I want to start as i mean to go on, and stick to my policies, but it is easier said than done when it comes to it. But at the same time i cant afford to be slack on the money front as am a single parent, no other income etc
any advice welcomed
