How Do You Get Paid?

[Alwaysgreener]

I have several clients that use it and it's been great so far. Go to the Venmo web site and ir explains exactly how it works. You both have to sign up. Venmo kind of works like a middle man. The client can send payment from their phone or computer. I get a text message and email that tells me "Bill" has sent money. I then go to Venmo and "claim it". very simple and free~!

Does it allow you to invoice / request funds?
Have you every had trouble getting funds over the holiday?

Cash, check, money order, automatic transfer. Many banks do automatic transfer for free.

What she said ^^

I also accept payment via many of the assistance programs in my area which are usually paid via direct deposit to my bank account.

I prefer the bank transfer. I leaves a paper trail, is automatically posted to my account and is simple and easy to do.

Cash, check, or money order.
My credit union allows us to take a picture of the checks.

Payment is due this morning and she arrived again with out her checkbook. This is the 3rd time. If I do not remind her she forgets. Oh wait, I did remind her, I wrote it on the baby daily report, Along with needing wipes that she did not bring. Daily reports are going to end, (I may do them and just keep for my records.)
I need to get paid, but she is an adult and I should not have to remind her to pay. Thus I am looking for other ways people get paid so I can research them, then she can pay electronically at drop off. NO more excuses.

Oh golly gee. Is there a late fee consequence? People sometimes! I would tell her electronic payment only from this point on, payable the Friday before services. If it is questionable as to whether she has a checking account, cash. No more freebies.

My center takes cash, check (unless we've had issues with a specific person's checks not clearing...), money order, and credit/debit card.

Contract says payment is due at drop off on Thursday. Yes there is a late fee, should I charge it at pick up since she did not have it at drop off this morning? Or only charge if she does not pay today?

She is my first and only, I do plan on changing to pay before going forward.

Where are you in MI?

I get paid by check or email money transfer after care has taken place. I take a 2 week deposit and if payment is late they have a certain amount of time to get the payment to me. If I do not get it within that time frame care is terminated and they forfeit their deposit.

Yes, you can request payment. Funds are in my account the next day. If a holiday is coming up, parents pay early to make sure I get it.

Payment is due every Friday. My Venmo parents schedule the payment on Thursday, so I can have it in my acct on Friday.
