Caregiver's paid personal days for new parents

[bonnie]

Thank you both for your response. I have thought about it, and I will updating my policy for 2020 to reflect something similar to Suzie_homemaker. As for these clients I am waiving the fee as this year I may not be able to give my mandatory 2 weeks' notice of when in October I will be taking the 2 weeks off as I am due in October (so it depends on baby). I did give them a friendly reminder that this is only an exception for this year just so there is no misunderstanding. The other parents are very understanding of what's going on because I have developed a relationship with them. I have not with these parents so I can understand how uneasy they may feel.

Thanks again!

I'm just wondering if any of the daycare operators here charge for stats? I've been thinking of doing this for clients that come at least 3 days per week and also only if the stat is their regularly scheduled day. Is this accepted practice in most daycares?
And is this legal? Thank you in advance.

Yes, a lot of Ontario providers charge for Stats. It is becoming common practice.
Is it legal - its all in the wording. State "paid closures" then list the days closed instead of stating paid stats. As self-employed individuals, we are not supposed to charge for stats/vacation time.
