    Vacation Time

    My clients are allowed 10 days of vacation time. I require them to give a 2 weeks' notice of any vacation time. I also do not allow them to use any days as vacation that are listed as paid under the contract (my vaca/holidays/etc).

    I have a parent that requested a day (well in advance) and I (just) decided to use that day as well. I feel I should allow the parent to not pay for that day since they requested before me, but do I still have a vacation day from them later?

    Help:confused:

    If they requested it first, it is only fair for you not to charge them. They did follow the rules. I don't think you can add another vacation day just for them later.

        If I am sick on a day that one of my parttimers doesn't come I don't count that as one of my sick days from them. They are not paying me for that day anyway so I see it the same as if I was sick on the weekend.

            I agree.

              This is how I was feeling, but it looks like it's about a 50/50 split on here.

                This is what I was going to say- I think it should be counted as their unpaid day, but you could always use another day as a vacation day for them, if the situation arose where it would benefit you. If not, it's just one day

                  I would say that it would not count as a vacation day for you. You are not charging them and so I would say save your vacation day with them for another day. Technically you are simply off without pay from them for the day.
