ANYWAYS, lastnight, same thing, she'll send hubby backto pay me later that evening, he has recently switched jobs, at his old job he got paid by cheque so they had to go to the bank to deposit it, now he gets paid by direct deposit, so they dont have to go to the bank anymore......

leaving me to think that it was important for them to have their pay check deposited in a timely manner, but now that its done for them, its less important to pay me in a timely manner......
I would personally change in your manual/contract (and get them to sign it) that payment is to be dropped off on the 1st day of care for the week or you will NOT be taking them. YOU NEED TO BE PAID. We deal with enough bullshit. They will learn that you're serious after that!
