Holiday charge?

[Lainey Lou]

Hiya everyone, What does everyone do re: charging for holidays? I don't know whether to take 4 weeks unpaid holiday a year and charge full fee when parents are on holiday or to charge half fee when I am on holidays and half fee when parents are on holiday? What does everyone else do? :) XX

I don't charge at all for my holidays but parents get charged full fee when their child is off - if they co-incide with mine then they get a good deal! lol

I do the same as Pipsqueak & Peanuts :)

I have 2 weeks paid holiday.

My parents pay for 52 weeks a year and I refund any monies over two weeks holidays as and when it comes up.

I take 4 weeks unpaid holiday a year and parents are allowed 4 weeks at half rate. If holidays coincide it's half rate. I don't have set holidays each year and only usually give two weeks notice, so parents often have to pay someone else which I think works out too expensive.

i dont charge for my holiday if i wish to take any but charge them if they go on holiday/sick etc

I found that when parents were charged full for their holidays they didn't take any!!
If parents were off work but not actually going away, they brought the children to me.
I prefer a break with half pay:clapping: :clapping:
