My policies are not negotiable. Thats why I have them in my policy booklet. In the past i have parents not give me two weeks notice and as I only ask for one weeks deposit I was owed another week. So Ive changed my policy to two weeks deposit and I get paid one week in advance. So know if a parent came to me on Friday and told me they weren't bringing their child anymore Ive at least got my two weeks pay upfront which is nonrefundable.
