A Mom Told Me She Is Signing My Name..

[DanceMom]

On her childcare reimbursement forms an submitting them to her employer...
I told her I had no problem signing them and to bring them in going fwd for me to sign.

I feel like terminating her for this...signing MY name to documents..who knows how much $$ she is putting down vs what she pays.

[MN Mom]

Eeep! That is fraud. Period. Honestly I would terminate. I would also contact her employer and inform them that you have not signed anything in regards to her day care fees. Depending on this woman's persona..you may even need to contract a lawyer. I would, just to figure out your rights and to have a clear path on what to do.

wow i would possible terminate for that too you don't know how much she wrote down. I would tell her i need a copy of the form she sign my name on and all subsequent forms must be summited to me to be signed is she didn't do that i would term her.

Ditto what "MN Mom said"

[DCMomOf3]

I'm with MN Mom too!

If she has fradulently altered a document concerning money, I can't imagine what she would do claiming her end of year total for childcare to the IRS. The trust is gone.

This parent is going to get you audited! Give her one chance to give you copies of whatever she's forged, and go from there. If she doesn't (for ANY reason) tell her you are very uncomfortable with her decision to represent you and that because this is illegal, you will need to have her employer contact you so it can be straightened out. That's where I would start, anyway.

I wonder what they'll do when suddenly the signatures are not the same? She may have just opened up a whole can of worms for herself. I think if it were me, I would prepare a letter on your letterhead showing the dates and amounts paid to you for care, and have her sign it acknowledging that it is correct so that you will have a paper trail in case anything ever comes of this.

I do provider carbon copy reciepts weekly and give them to the parents and keep the copy for my records. Wouldnt SHE be the one that gets screwed if they dont match ? Arent I covered by providing my reciepts and having a copy of them?

Do you all give reciepts and make the parents sign them weekly?

Are you required to get copies of what they submit to their employers/IRS ?

I have the parents fill out their own receipts that they attach to the check. When I process the payment, I look to see that they match. They almost always do, and if they don't I have caught it before the payment goes to the bank. The 'payment slip' looks like this:

_____ SAC PROGRAM

Child(ren)’s Name(s): ____________________________________________

PAYMENT FOR WEEK OF: __________________________

AMOUNT PAID $_________________ CHECK #_________________

Parent signature ________________________________ Date___/___/___

___ I would like a receipt

Their receipt prints when I process the payment. Not on-the-spot. It's within a couple of days, and I give them a statement anytime they ask to see their account.

,..I would call her employer 15 to 30 min before she gets off. So that by the time you are finished with your phone call she will have already left for the day and she wont be able to scam her employer in her favor. I would ask to speak to whoever is in charge of childcare reimbursment forms. I would tell them exactly what happened. I would ask that they forward to you copies of any forms she has submitted that had your signature on them. I would ask that that they scan them, and email them to you and send hard copies in the us mail. because you may proceed with legal proceedings if she false-ified any of the information in addition to forging your signature. The employer doesnt want to be implicated in trying to hide information like this because this is a seriuous crime. I would tell her at pickup,....

I have been thinking about how you told me this morning that you forged my signature on documents for your employer. I have contacted your employer and asked that they send me any documents that have my signature on them, I am also going to verify all items on the documents to insure that everything is the correct amounts. And that if there is a discrepancy you will notify her employer immediately. I would tell her that you are extremely upset that she would forge your name on a legal document and tell her that she not only broke the law, but also violated your trust. I would tell her that pending the outcome of the document review you may or may not preceed in the legal system. Forgery is illegal and if she needed you to sign something she could have just asked.

I then would draft up termination papers and hand them to her on the spot. If she were in my childcare facility,... this is terms for immediate termination without notice. Intentionally breaking the law and forging my name on a financial document,.. that is inexcusable. Especially since she has done it more than once. good luck,......

Scratch my first idea, I like yours a lot lot lot better!

[DancingQueen]

what was her reason for signing your name? (I'm just curious what would make someone think that is OK)

She was telling me a story about getting some extra money to fix her car and that she had to submit a daycare reimbursement form..and was laughing..ohh I just signed your name to it, I didnt think you'd care" laugh laugh..

Um...I have no idea what would give her the impression that I wouldnt care.
I just looked at her and ( didnt laugh ) and said I would sign them and have no problem doing so.

Im going to ask her for a copy - tell her I need it for my records for my taxes in case of auditing..so I'll go from there.
