Just wonder how being paid works when you or a chikd gets sick.

Just this last Monday I had to shut down cause I was sick.. So come paid day I was paid but the parent minused that day I wasn't open from my pay.

Was that fair, I'm new to this and I just want to know how being sick works for everyone else, cause financially I can't afford to be sick again and neither can her kids
if I'm not going to be paid when they're not here.. To me that doesn't seem fair.

I'd love all your opions and ideas in this/ what I could do in the future..

I also had a mom her two girls I watch were sick all thus week, she asked to drop them off, but I asked her to play it safe and keep them home for the last two days just cause I don't want anyone getting sick.. She pays in advance, do I have to give her her money back since she didn't use me cause her kids were sick??

Very confused about all this??
