Retroactive reimbursement for sick days.

[playfelt]

As long as you already have the money upfront for days used then it is up to you to set that money aside and make sure you still have it come December when she gives you a cheque for less money. It is still to your advantage to have this lady pay this way. Yes it means a bit more book keeping to be sure she does pay the right amount and that is as simple as having a chart with yourallowable paid days off and their paid days off and marking them off as taken and as paid. If you had cheques already for April May then it totally makes sense to take it off the "next pay period" which for your clients is in effect every two months when they give new cheques.

If the parent had used overtime you would have expected a cheque for the amount right away. If this is bothering you that much then next time it happens make out a cheque to each of your parents and give it to them and then you will be able to just cash the cheques they have already given you as normal.
