    I did it!

    Used my backbone again! Mom texted me and said she can't pay me tonight, gave an excuse. I told her she will have to pay the late fee and now my husband and I have to reschedule our date for tonight. I really want to double my late fee! I am really ticked but glad I didn't let it slide!

    My late fee double with EACH occurrence.

    First late fee = $10 per day
    Second late = $20 per day
    Third late = $30 per day OR immediate termination.

    GOOD job enforcing your policies!! happyface

          BC, I'm going to put that in my contract, fantastic idea!

          I'm really upset about it, a lot upset about it and my husband is really angry. I know the excuse is a lie. We shouldn't have to reschedule!

          Thanks! I love Tigger and he fits perfect with the post :-)

            Good for you. Payment for your service should not be late. Using your backbone does get a lot easier...and then you get to the point where you're saying stuff/calling parents out and wondering, "Hmmm, should I have said that or kept it in my head?"

                  You can either pay me on Friday by 6 in full OR I charge a fee of $50 to pay Monday morning. I hated being disrupted over the weekend!

                          I used to do the daily increase, but it was not enough and it caused weekend issues that I don't want to deal with.

                          1x late 50$
                          2x $100
                          3x 150
                          4th immediate term

                            so what do you do when they come and try to pay on weekends??

                            I know you don't provide care from your home, so how does that play out.'


                            curious to know how you make it work.
