    I would charge them. If they signed the forms prior to the holiday, they should pay. I had TWO families start the day after Canada Day and they both paid for Canada Day

    If a parent starts the Tuesday after Labour Day then I would charge 4 days for that week since 'technically' they were not on contract yet.
    From that point forward...all other stats are payable i.e Thanksgiving etc.

    Never thought of it like that......true, they haven't started technically as their start date is after the holiday. OK I would do the same after Spixie33 pointed it out ~ 4 day that week and moving forward all stats paid in full

    I have it written in my contract that all stats and civic holidays are paid in full.

    Come to think of it I had a child start the day after Canada day and she still paid for the stat. I hadn't even thought of it and the parent never questioned it either. It never occured to me to not charge for the full month.

    I wouldn't charge for it. You're agreeing to start care on the 4th, you start on the 4th, not the 3rd.

    I just had a child start the day after the Canada Day Monday holiday and I only charged my full-time rate for 4 days that week. I like to start off fair and making a really good impression with a new client. The good will is worth more to me than one day's pay.

    same Question but with a twist!

    9mos old "screamer" has been with me for almost 2 months now PT and starts officially FT on Sept. 4th.....

    Should she still pay for the Stat even though I agreed for the FT to start on the 4th?

    Is Monday one of her normal 'part time' days if she was not starting full time? If so than yes I would charge her for the Stat and if not than like the others I would have her first 'full time' day be starting on the Tuesday and prorate the fees for that and suck up the lost income on the Monday.
