    Let me give you a real life example.

    Today, my husband got into a care accident today (he is ok thank god, and my son was not in the car)

    And I have asked the kids to stay home for the remainder of the week..... Coming back on Monday.....


    I would just take the fees off. no questions. I wouldn't wait for them to do that for me.

    I am sorry but I really don't understand what the beef is?

    Because I sent all the parents an email alerting them that they needed to deduct the money from the May cheques as the April ones had already been cashed.

    She wants to be able to deduct the days of whatever month she wants to. Example: If I ended up with 10 days out of the whole year that I was not available for care, she wants to be able to deduct those days of whatever months she wants to, and possibly all ten days off the very last month in the year.

    I have at least two months cheques in all parents files at all times. If it happens that I have to take a day off, I email the parents and ask them to provide me a new cheque in place of the old one. I also let them know that if they do not bring a cheque with the new amount, I will be cashing the one I have as I do not have another to cash. I expected parents to be able to provide a new cheque in a two week time frame for me to cash with the new amount. Am I expecting too much?

    I strongly prefer her to deduct for the applicable month, not whenever she wants to.

    Everyone is okay with parents banking reimbursement sick days and applying it to whatever month they want to?

    Sorry, just REread your last post.... so you reminded them that if they did not give you new cheques, you were going to use the old one.
    I still would have talked about the issue with her then. Sometimes we need to treat these parents like we do their children.... spell it out to them in detail multiple times.
