"sick days" in Ontario
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!

I totally agree with this. I pay no attention to some of the wording issues since logic has to prevail.

I offer clients sick days in direct proportion to the number of days per week their child is enrolled. For example: someone enrolled for 5 full days per week will get 5 days per year whereas someone who has 3 days per week will get 3 sick days. They are used in order of absences and not stored up, are non accumulative and not transferrable between siblings. I never charge for my sick days or vacation time. However, if I'm quite ill, but not quite ill enough to work, I will notify parents that I'm in rough shape, but open none-the-less. They can make the call to bring in the kiddies or not as they'll pay either way.
