Hi,
I have heard something about how we cannot charge for "vacation pay" or "sick leave," because then there is a legal line crossed that turns the daycare provider into an employee of the parent rather than providing a service. I know that one way around this is to do "payment by enrollment" and also specifically say that payment is required on stat holidays during which the daycare is not open. I am also considering putting a number of "sick days" into my policies/contract, but do not know for certain if this is okay. I know a number of people in my area do this, but want to be sure?
Thanks!
