Hi All,
I havnt been minding long, I started about 7 weeks ago and since then i have been minding a child whose parents seem to have a 'problem' with paying me!!
There is always some sort of excuse as to why they cant pay on time, I ask for payment in advance (on a Monday) and into my bank account. Last night was the final straw, I always check my account before the child arrives at 9.30am, Yesterday the money wasnt there, No surprise! I checked a couple of times throughout the day but no sign of it. When dad picked up last night i told him i hadnt been paid, he said ' oh well ive put it in your account, there must be a problem with the account' I said that i needed the money and i asked if he could maybe pop to a cash point and drop the money round.
He did pop to the cash point and returned 4 hours later!!
Anyway i'll get to the point now, Basically im fed up of the messing about every week, they wont pay monthly as ive previously suggested that so i want to write a letter asking to be paid in cash every monday morning!
Do you think this is reasonable? And any ideas on how to word it?
Thanks in advance! Claire x
