    Ugggg .... no offence to CPPRN cause they are an awesome resource to providers but IMO entitled is a horrible word to use and it propagates the belief in clients hearing that come from a professional association

    But yes this is true we are not 'entitled' under the Employment Standards Act for any of the protection of that act because we are self employed and because we ARE self employed IMO we are ENTITLED to negotiate anything we want into individual contracts with clients as long as the market will bare it and the client signs and agrees to the terms of payment for the service being offered under that contract

    IMO that is just nit picking of potato and potatoe as for as wording is concerned and likely done more not for CRA concern over employed or self employed but to EDUCATE home childcare clients and to make it seem 'fairer' to those who are stuck in that ' we are not 'entitled' to stats holiday / vacation thinking themselves

    This is why I have TWO payment options for clients .... one where they pay a much higher fee and do not pay for my closures but do if their child is sick/on vacation and another where they pay for the 'space' regardless and that included 10 stat closures, 10 vacation days, 10 paid personal days ~ if I go over those closures than I would 'credit' clients accordingly ... but I do define those 'days' so it is clear to clients later!
    Children construct their own intelligence. The adult must provide activities and context, but most of all must be able to listen. Children need proof that adults believe in them. Their three great desires are to be listened to, to understand, and to demonstrate that they are exactly what we expect."
