    Easter Monday

    Hi everyone so I charge for stat holidays but was curious how many people charge for Easter Monday? Seeing as it is not a stat.

    I charge for it and I'm closed. If you put it in the contract and they agree to it, then I don't see a problem with it.

    I am also closed and charge for it. If they ask I tell them I follow the school's schedule.

    I'm closed too but I feel bad charging when it really isn't a stat holiday. Should I be charging? And what if you have a new client starting that week do you charge them?

    I am closed and I charge for it. I have all my stats listed in my contract so there is no confusion over which days I take as paid closures. I even added Christmas eve in there although it is definitely not a stat. As long as parents know when they sign the contract and agree to it, you can close with pay anytime you want.

    I'm closed too and my parents pay. I think that is not unusual. We work a lot of hours and deserve some time off. My parents and very appreciative of the work I do and always offering me extra paid time off :-)

    I am closed with pay also. I am so looking forward to that four day weekend already. lol

    It is in my contract as a paid closure/stat and parents get reminded about 4 weeks beforehand that it is a closed/paid day.

    If I had a parent start that week then I would consider the start date on the Tuesday and not charge for that first year since the child isn't officially in care or expected to attend yet on that Easter Monday.

    You can still charge for it next time you do contract updates. I just list all the stats or civic holidays along with those other "iffy" days like Easter Monday and simply state...........the following days the daycare will be closed and payment will be expected.
