Teachers ONLY daycare AND stat holidays

[Suzie_Homemaker]

Suzie_homemaker...is this not the same as the stat holiday falling when I am on vacation and the parent said I must work the day before and the day after to get paid for the stat? You mentioned if she wanted to follow labour standard laws then I should charge her min wage?????? That we do not fall into that category?

Sandylynn - you not understand. No, not same as a stat falling when you on vacation - you pulled that from nowhere.

You are mixing up two entirely different questions on two entirely different threads.

We are not employees. Labour standards do not apply to us. We don't have the protection of min wage and all those regs and rules. The thread you referred to, should you go back and read it again, was about a parent who said you must work the days before and after a stat to get paid for those. This would be accurate if you were an employee but you are not. However, my reply said that if a parent wanted to apply labour standards and view you as an employee, they should be aware that ALL labour standards would apply inc min wage.

Employee = labour standards. Self-employed = no labour standards.
Employee = must work both sides of stat to be paid. Self-employed = paid as per contract
Employee = min wage. Self-employed = no such luck

BUT none of that is anything to do with the question of this thread.

This particular provider mirrors the school board calender. She isn't available all of Summer and her contracts said she doesn't get paid for it. So, she doesn't get to apply a fee for Canada Day which is smack bang in middle of period her service not available and where no fees are due. Her business is totally closed.

Likewise, March Break and Christmas Break, her business is totally closed. She not available. And therefore, because she closed and because she not charging over Christmas, she not entitled to get stat days either.

Sure, she can try and charge but far from her "being screwed" I think she would be screwing parents. She is closed. She has opted not to work or be available. Her contract is specific, no pay for when she closes down her business. So that means stat days too.
