Following a post I've read on here tonight I'm going to give serious thought to changing my holiday/sickness charges.
Is it acceptable to change it for parents who you already mind for and would I have to do a whole new contract or is it possible to photocopy a blank relevant page, fill it in with the new charges and get the parent to sign and attach it to the original contract?
Do you think my parents would accept the change?
Currently I charge full fees for child holiday/sickness and no fee for my holiday/sickness.
I was thinking of changing to: child holiday/sickness half fee - my holiday half fee (to a maximum of 4 weeks per year), my sickness no fee.
It would obviously be cheaper for them when the child is off and although they would be paying me half fee for my holidays I assume they would still be getting their tax credits to cover it!
What do you think? It states in my policies that fees will be reviewed each April - if I decide to change should I keep the current people as they are until then or would you swap them all over?
