teachers strike... what to charge???

[kats]

Hi, the parents of my mindees have decided to take the day off work on the day of the teachers strike so they dont have to pay me to have them all day, they are before and after schoolers so am i within my right to still charge them the normal before and after school fee for that day even though i am not taking them and collecting them from school thanks, :)

If they are contracted for before and after school then yes still charge:thumbsup:

[christine e]

Yes me too, I will still be open for the others so their before and after school spaces are available and I will be charging for them

I don't charge as I'm happy to have the time off otherwise I would have them all day!

For my junior schoolie i told parent i was available for the day and open and she chose to send her to grandma's but i still charged for a full day - and she paid :thumbsup: infant schoolie is just a normal day as they are not striking. xx

One of my parents is a teacher, i have her 3yr old and her school child, told her i would charge if she doesnt send them

Thankfully we are not being affected by the strike, however we would charge full rate unless 4 weeks notice had been given then we would charge 1/2 rate as it would be classed as them having a holiday, this would be as per our terms and conditions on their contracts.
