Advice regarding paid vacation

[babydom]

Ok. So either say u will get paid when we see the contract. If she wants her money she'll show it. Or if she's saying pay whatever u think. Then do that. Pay her just a day even. She said to pay what YOU think. So that's what you think. If she argues and wants more. Say certainly as soon as I see the contract. What area are in? Please don't bring your son back there this wk!!

I'm in Ottawa. Unfortunately I have to send him there tomorrow. I can't take any more days off work, I just went back from mat leave. My husband has his own business and is quite busy too. My in-laws will be here tomorrow afternoon from a long haul flight and I would feel really bad to have them look after my son when they just landed and jet lagged. My husband and I agreed to make tomorrow his last day. I can try asking to leave early tomorrow from work but I have already taken so many days to look after him. I've only been back to work for 3 months and I don't want to get into trouble at work.

My husband will ask for a copy of the contract again tomorrow.

Suzie: she doesn't leave messages either. She would call a few times until we pick up or talk to us when she sees us. I will check regarding recording conversations. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks Suzie, I really appreciate getting your son involved to advice us on this matter. We suspect it's not in her contract that we have to pay her 1-2 weeks upon termination. I only remember she gets 10 paid days per year, so basically, after 3 months, we have to pay her 2.5 days and she already took 3 days. We don't owe her any paid vacation.
We have already paid for the notice period, ending this Friday. I guess if it really was in her contract that we have to pay her 1 week or 2 upon termination, then she would have insisted and not say it's up to us. I believe she is taking chances to get paid when she doesn't really deserve it.

Anyway, it looks very unprofessional to me. She could simply admit she was in the wrong and tell us we don't owe her anything, then amend her contract for future clients.

If my husband fails to see the contract tomorrow, then tomorrow will be my son's last day and we don't give her any more money.

Babydom: I'm in west ottawa, I'll pvt msg you

Original poster had me thinking this provider was in the wrong until I read the comment that said that you were afraid she was going to slap you. Really? Then why did you continue to bring your child to her and put your child in a harmful situation?

I also find it very rude when women try to get their husbands to intimidate providers into getting what they want. Everyone is reading one side of the story and it shocks me that people are siding with this women.
