Holidays/termination
I have X amount of paid days in my contract. A family has given notice, but my holidays fall shortly before they finish in the notice period. Do I refund them the full 2 week deposit, or the deposit minus a few days of paid time that I am owed? Never had this happen before. Help please!

If they know about your paid holidays than I would think you have the right to charge them for it, even though it's during their last weeks of care.

For me, their two wks notice is two wks notice regardless how and when it falls. I get paid vacation by only the present clients I have pay it when I am off. I don't carry them over or charge parents if they leave just before my holidays. If I get paid vacation for two wks and the 2nd wk they are not here because their last wk of care was my first wk of holidays, their deposit would cover the wk before I'm off and the first wk of my holidays. The 2nd wk they don't pay because they are no longer in care. Hope I'm making sense. Lol

I agree with babydom. If they give their 2 weeks notice and their last day is before your paid holiday time they shouldn't have to pay for any paid holiday.

Oh did I read wrong? (I've taken my sleeping pills so I'm loopy lol )
I thought they gave their notice but a few of those days are the providers paid holidays. They technically are still paying for those days IMO

Ya. So they would pay the holidays that are within their notice period because they are still in care at the time of holidays taken.

Yes my holidays fall within the notice period that they are still here.
I do my fees monthly, not weekly, and tally the number of days per month. So the notice period is one month(given mid-august), and my holidays are 1st week of September, and they have an end date of mid-sept. So when I do up the Sept. fees, and go back 2 weeks from the final day of care, to refund the deposit, it falls 1/2 way through my holidays week, so I miss out on 3 paid days of my holidays, because their notice has them finishing mid-week. They already tried to argue my paid holidays with me about a month ago, even though they signed the contract many months ago. I feel like I am owed those days, as the contract states, so I want to subtract them off the deposit.

This happen me before. Long term client finished end June, I take my annual week off in July. So I missed out on paid vacation. I changed contract to now say that personal days accrue from Jan-Dec at number day / 12 month. If day accrued and not taken when leave, money owed for those days.

this is want I have in my termination policy:
If you terminate within Four (4) weeks (less than 20 days) before, or during the providers scheduled “Days of Rest”, you forfeit your deposit. The deposit will go towards expenses occurred during the providers “Days of Rest”. You will still need to pay the enrollment fee for your child`s last two weeks of care. The enrollment fee must be paid in full by 5:00pm on the Thursday before your child`s last two weeks of care.
I have been screwed to many times. I know many providers how have the same kind of policy.

Starting to feel at home...
I was out of luck from a couple of dc families as they left right before my vacation, it happened to me about 3 times and I got wise! Now my families pay me 1 extra days pay per month from Sept to June, this covers my 2 weeks off in the summer and they don't pay me then. If a family leaves me, for example in Feb I will have already banked the vacay pay owing. Also if a family starts in maybe November they then pay from Nov to June, so as to make it fair to all. Hope this is clear, sometimes it feels complicated even to me
