My handbook only states I will charge $5 for being late. It doesn't state it's $5 for every ____ amount of time. I've never had an issue with someone being late until now so I need to change my policy!

$5 per every 15 minutes or any portion of 15 minutes .
ex . 10 minutes =$5 , 17 minutes =$10.
Though at the times I needed to charge the $5 does not seem enough to make the offender care .- Flag

First late pick up = $1 per minute (and probably a little less "friendly" interaction)
Second late pick up = $2 per minute (and the cold shoulder for a few days)
Third late pick up = Immediate termination. I refuse to work with families that don't respect my time.
NO amount of money is worth keeping clients that don't respect me or my family's time.- Flag

I charge $10 for the first 10 minutes (or any part there of), then it goes to $1 per minute starting at 11 minutes after closing.
For me, our traffic can often be horrible so I really don't mind the occasional minute or two late (with a text or call of course). I don't want to charge a dollar here and there. But more than a couple of minutes then yep you will be paying me for my time, so it's $10 any part of that first 10 minutes.- Flag

I charge a $20 inconvenience fee per child for being late or showing up early without prior approval. I also charge $1 per minute per child for the late fee. I have a sibling set that has been picked up late twice. They were 45 minutes late. So it was a late fee of $45 per child plus the inconvenience fee. They had to pay me $130 in late fees. The parent was shocked that I was actually going to enforce it. The second time they were late they called at the time they should have been picking up to tell me they were late. I told them I'm aware and that late fees were adding up pretty fast. They weren't late again after.- Flag
