I live in a very small community and unfortunately they have lived here much much longer and know many many people so I need to keep my reputation in tact and gracefully end the relationship. I will insist on the full payment for the remaining two weeks. Dont get me wrong, I'm not a push over. My contract states two weeks full amount must be paid. thanks again, I love this site!
its always best to handle it in a professional manner no matter how much we might want to do otherwise. If I can offer some advice as I just lost out on pay after giving notice to a family. If you are giving notice, do so after their payment for the week or weeks has cleared. That way they wont walk away and not pay you if they are angry. My contract also says that it must be paid regardless of attendance but they didnt and its too costly to pursue. best of luck
