After payment hasn't been made again by a particular parent (due on 1st) I'm now putting a late fee into future contracts as I'm getting tired of having to ask for my money. It's so draining and making a bitter relationship as every month without fail I have to ask for it. She must think I do this for fun or a hobby :rolleyes:
It shouldn't be like this, I'm sure her boss pays her every month :mad:
The amount owed is just over £50 so not a huge amount and without sounding patronising to families who don't have a lot of cash.....the families I work with all have a lot of it so making payments shouldn't be a problem.
Anyway, the question is I've just given parent a new contract as her sons hours are changing but I gave her this a few weeks ago. It didn't have the late fees in it so do I:
Give her a new contract or
Just write a letter stating that late fees of £5 per day are being put into force from September and get her to sign it?
