Parents Trying To Flake On Last Two Weeks Of Payment

AWESOME!!!!

Now if they don't pay, you should know their employer and file a garnishment order! That'll really make them look like a super cheapskate!

I agree.

Just because you won the judgement, doesn't mean they'll pay right away.

Wowee! That's great news! Go treat yourself to something nice and then giggle thinking they pd for it when you get the money.

That's so great!! I bet you feel awesome. I have to ask what the mom's face looked like when you won? ::

I think that it's great that you stood up for yourself and that everything worked out for you. I bet you feel better now. I'm wondering too if you found a new client???

For future clients can you maybe collect 2 weeks payment as a deposit so that this doesn't happen?? I also require 2 weeks notice like you do but I only collect 1 week payment as deposit, and will apply it to their last week of care and payment is required on Fridays for the following weeks care. So in a case like yours I wouldn't get the 2 weeks payment but I'd still have their deposit.

Exactly. My contract is worded such that if they either have a balance due and leave, or at the end of the daycare term, their original enrollment "fee" of one week's payment will be credited to their account.

Best wishes to you! Sorry this happened.
