DCK taking a few days vacation - payment question

[MonkeyPrincess]

[QUOTE=playfelt;71183]If you don't have a set number of days they can use for vacation then assume you will not be paid anything for this week. The parents likely have the entire week off and will bring the child only Mon and Tues if they need to get some stuff done - otherwise they are all on vacation.

I don't understand what you mean. This incidence is different than my other post, maybe you are thinking i am referring to my other post about Christmas break? This is another question unrelated to my post about christmas break.

I wouldn't be paid anything if I were the one taking vacation, however i am paid if the child takes time off. I should either be getting paid half rate if they take the whole week off for vacation, or full rate if they are only away for 2/3 days.

Your original question said that ..

i am paid regardless of the child's attendance (including sick days), except for when the child is on vacation

Sorry but to me that means if the child is planning to be away from day care, not ill, but having some vacation, regardless of whether they are away or at home, you don't get paid.

You are now mentioning half rates or full rates which is completely different than your original statement. Perhaps you can clarify exactly what your policy is.
