I am going to charge my late fee tonight for the first time ever. Parent was 20 minutes late for pick up.
I looked at my contract with them, and it looks as though I had put that late fees start at my original close time of 4:45. However a few months ago I changed my Tuesday closing time to 4:30. In the change I had put that late fees would start at the new closing time...but then the computer I was using died and now I can't access the addendum.
So - do I charge the late fee because they knew full well I had made the change or not because of what the contract states?
ETA: She was 6 minutes late for my usual close time, and per the contract that would be 5 per minute so $30...
