Daycare contract changes!! :)

I get paid the same every two weeks no matter what. I still take time off. What I have done is lowered my rates by a few dollars compaired to other providers in my area with unpaid vacation time.. It works out to be about the same if I take two weeks unpaid vacation. This way I know what I am getting paid every two weeks.

Keep it simple and just have them pay 52 weeks. Don't try and do a different number of unpaid days off for each family. What would you do for the 3 day a week family that switches part way through to 5 days? Would they get 5 days that year? Too complicated long term.

Depending on what your area (or clientele) will support either just get paid for your days off, get paid for vacation but not sick days, or some paid the rest unpaid.
