Child hasnt come on a couple of occasions - apparently sick but i wonder if this is avoidance at paying whats owed.
I dont know what to do, i feel bad chasing them for money when i know they are struggling but at the same time am out of pocket myself, and would rather terminate the place than not be paid for it.
What should i do dyou think? I want to deal with it sensitively because i feel for them and their situation but also dont want to be in a position where they build up a debt to me.
