well personally if they didn't give notice, I would charge.

I would think about changing your notice period for these urgent days.

I have a 2 weeks notice for single days, 2 weeks for more than 1 day and 4 weeks for more than a week.

For my hols I state that I will endevour where possible to give min of 4 weeks notice but this is no guarantee. I do not get paid for my hols.
For parents they need to give me min 4 wks notice to pay 50% otherwise it's full fees.

We all need the occasional emergency time off and we can't always give much notice.
