Pay your bill on time

[bright sparks]

In terms of getting paid on time, I accept post dated cheques only. I need 3 months initially and then when I'm down to 1 cheque they bring me another batch. There is no paying me on payday and forgetting that way. Also, no pay no care. That's something you should adopt immediately. Go home and get payment because daycare isn't free or on an IOU system. Once you have post dated cheques in hand though you won't have any more issues.

As for the vacation and stat days, is this all stated in your contract? And the parents signed it in agreeable in order to start with you I assume? Then why on earth are they complaining? Ever heard of give and inch and they will take a mile? That's what's going on here. They are successfully manipulating you when you change your contract at their request. If you do not stand firm on your policies then why should they. Are paid vacation days the norm for your area because that's all that matters not really what we all do because it's the market you are in which makes doable or not.
