What does everyone have for their termination/withdrawl policy? I'm struggling to word it in my handbook! Thanks
Termination of Contract
Immediate termination is available to the provider if ; A child’s behaviour threatens the physical or emotional well-being of anyone else in the day home, if a parent is verbally, physically abusive or threatening to any persons in the day home, for non-payment, for failure to disclose non-immunization or for “dosing and dropping” to hide symptoms of illness which would deem a child as needing 24 hour exclusion. In these circumstances a charge of 28 days (4 weeks) fees in lieu of the written notice will be applied as it's wholly avoidable.
Termination by either party for any other reasons requires four weeks written notice if you have one child in my care or 6 weeks notice for a sibling group. Fees are due regardless of attendance for the notice period.
This is my policy:
