She told my wife yes she gets paid 1/2 the rate for time off, however, I just found my contract and read through it, should I go back and request those funds back? The point is daycare providers work for us and should not abuse time off and we should show compassion as well since they are reliant on these checks. You need to talk to your provider to clear up what is and is not in the contract. In my case, I met with my provider and had no problem adding clause alloting the provider 5 paid days (at normal rate) with additional days within the same calendar year not requiring payment. Also stating that its the 'client's responsibility to find and fund alternative care during that time.
Unless you are paying for my social security taxes, medical and retirement expenses, I do
NOT work for any of my parents!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you are unhappy with your provider's payment policies regarding closed days, find a new one but it would probably be a smart move on your part to lose the
"daycare providers work for us" attitude!
Wow!
just wow!!!!
