Late payment fees

[5 Little Monkeys]

If they are worried about the late fee that is a HUGE sign that they are thinking there will be times they have to pay it. That's not okay with me.

I don't have a late fee because I don't have a problem with parents not paying on time but if it became an issue, I would put one in and charge a full days rate per day and wouldn't have an issue charging it. If you want $40 as the late fee than stick to it, those that will appreciate and respect you will not have an issue with it.

I have in my contract "You do not beg for your paycheque, please do not make me beg for mine" and I think it has helped from having this issue in the first place. I also state that one time being late, your child can not attend until it's paid in full and if your late two times you will have to find alternate care.
