I am not sure how you all handle subsidize Childcare or how it's paid in your county. Here in my county there's 5 different programs, most programs work the same way. They pay monthly (1.5 months after care) yeah I know, right?
My question is.... Do you have parents pay upfront and then reimburse later? When the child is out because she/he is sick, with grandma etc... Do you make DCP write a reason so you don't have to be without pay?
At least the programs they offer here us providers get paid regardless but parent must state the reason. Parents get 10 sick days and 10 vacation days/personal days.
The same parent that was upset for sending the child home with a fever is the parent who has subsidized Childcare. Her schedule varies weekly but does work weekends. This child has been sick since he started so I was concerned about not getting paid. Parent has given me a hard time writing a reason on the time sheet. I never knew why until yesterday as we were talking on the phone she mentioned to me she had another provider (her mother) I was like "WTH"! And asked her why she didnt tell me before and said "I forgot" which I didnt believe. So I was thinking of terming her because I don't think it's fair that this child doesn't attend and I don't get paid, I can have a FT child and guarantee my weekly rate.
She is stopping by today to talk but I'm not sure the best way to tell her that I need her to pay me since I'm u sure what my pay will be. Btw this months payment will be April 21st.
Thanks in advance and hope I made sense.
