ugh! Last week my full time mindee's Dad didn't pay. For the previous weeks he had been great then last week I ended up not having LO on Fri (payday) he said he would pop round with it anyway but didnt come. Came on Sun and gave me half , didnt give me other half til I called and asked for it ON TUESDAY.
He apologised said it wouldnt happen again, it was circumstances etc etc. So I thought ok everyone can have a one off bad week. This is the first time so I was pleasent about it.
Guess what!? It is Fri and Mum picked LO up and didn't pay. I have sent a text message to both of them with a total amount ans asking for it to be brought up tonight. Had no reply and I sent them at 5pm.
I don't want to have a bad working relationship with these people but it isn't healthy to have to ask for my money. It makes me feel awkwrd and it isnt fair.
If they don't come tonight should I type up a letter and post it through their door? Stating that I iwll be incurring a late fee and that as of next week I will be expecting 15 hours paid every monday with the balance paid on each fri. The Dad doesn't know his hours until each evening so we have a contract for minimum hours. I am so flexible with this family :(
