You'd think I'd have this sussed by now
My problem is.... I look after 3 kids from the same family, one full time/holidays, 2 after school/holidays
To make things easier all round, I worked out exact charges over the next 26 weeks and devided by equal weekly payments
The family have arranged the second week of the Easter break as a holiday, so do I charge half the average weekly charge, or half the holiday rate?????
I presume because I've already "had" the holiday pay that its half the average week?
I'm so rubbish at maths its untrue
Thanks xx

Sorry I'm not sure i'm following this
When you worked out the charges over the 26 weeks did you take into account any holidays because if you did then surely you don't owe them anything?
I know it's not much help but that's one reason I don't work this way because if they leave suddenly half way through the period you could find yourself out of pocket
Hope you get it sorted

What does your policy say about charging for their holidays? I charge full price for their holiday if it doesn't coincide with mine!
I would have said that you have already been paid and no one owes anyone anything if you had taken into account their holiday when you worked out the original price.

I agree with Vik!

i do work out money over the year because of vouchers,hols etc, but when they gave notice, i just worked back how many 5 week months there were, and they owed me £125 ( 5 days money). i just explained this to them and they were great about it. so you dont loose out if you know what your doing.
