If a family is away on holidays they still pay!!! I do however offer a $5 day discount ONLY if I was given 30 days notice of vacation time. I think of it as an incentive to give me notice and I don't have to provide their child food but I am still paid for my time. I also do not give that discount to stats. I am payed full rate those days.

I certainly would make them pay when they are gone. They are paying for the spot not the days they need!

As for the Bill - not sure as I am in a different province.
