Statutory Holidays

[ARL-G]

I was wondering what other providers do for PART TIME children and Stat holidays?

I am closed for all Stat holidays...and my full time parents pay me for those days. I'm about to take on two families that are both part time...do you just have the families that would be there that day pay, or do you have a Tuesday, Thursday parent pay you a percentage of a Monday holiday?

If you DO have part time parents pay you a percentage, how do you calculate that?
Also, what wording do you use on the contract for that?

Thanks!

p.s. Every time I wrote "PART" I wrote Party and had to erase the "y"...hahaha....what 's on my mind on this Monday Morning? hahaha

I don't have it listed as stat holidsays in my contract, but rather it's called Closed Daycare Holidays to avoid any confusion for the parents. Some have the Easter Monday or Remebrance Day or Family Day or NOT, depending on if they work for private employers, federal or provincial employers like banks, etc.

I do take Easter Monday as a closed day and it's listed in my contract so if there are families who have to work that day they have to arrange for other care in advance. But that's the key, if it's in your contract they have lots of advance notice, right?

So to answer your question, all full-time families pay weekly no matter if there are closed holidays, sick or missed days for any reason. Part-time families pay for the days that they are scheduled weekly EVERY WEEK so if my calendar is marked for example for Mon/Wed/Fri every week then they pay for their 3 days every week, no matter if there is a closed holiday, sick or missed day for any reason.

I find it fair and reasonable.

If my part-timers are usually scheduled on Mondays, then I ask for payment for the Monday STATS as otherwise they'd be in care. Same goes for Fridays.

When I had a p/t child on Thurs/Fri they usually never paid for any stats as they didn't attend on Mondays.

Hopefully that helps!

Because I do monthly payment, not weekly, all stats ( and paid closed days like Easter Monday) are already paid for and there is no discount for any family...p/t and f/t.

Thank you... that does help.

Yes, I have listed on my contract what days I am closed. I was just wondering who to have pay me for those days. As I am about to take on a Tuesday/Thursday child (so they would not usually be on a STAT day) and I was wondering if I should have that family pay me anything for vacation.

But I think it makes sense...if your child would have attended had I been open that day, then you pay. Easter Monday I will not make a Tuesday parent pay.

Thanks girls!

fruit loop....do you have part time children pay for a holiday on a monday if they do not attend care on mondays?

[playfelt]

My part time only pay for a stat if it falls on their usual day with the exception of Christmas, Boxing Day and New Years which are paid by all families.

If the Stat falls on your days you pay!

I am another who has a list of 'observed public holidays' in my contract and I take both Good Friday and Easter Monday off paid ... if a public holiday on my list falls on the Saturday or Sunday I take the Monday off in lieu

With part time yes if a stat falls on your 'regularly scheduled day' than you pay for it.

fruit loop....do you have part time children pay for a holiday on a monday if they do not attend care on mondays?

Yes. I have a part time dcb who come W,T, F and also a F/T dcb who come Tues-Fri...they both pay their full rates every month. They pay me on the 1 of every month and I do not deduct any days for stats or their sick days/holidays. I only deduct fees for my own holidays.
