Holidays

I might be misunderstanding the question. However, since I take paid vacation time, as long as parents give me 4 or more weeks notice, they get their full deposit back (which goes towards their last month of fees). It doesn't matter if I'm on vacation at some point during those 4 weeks or not. They are unable to provide notice while I'm on vacation. They'll have known for months that I was taking vacation, so will have to wait until my return and either still give me 4 weeks notice or forfeit their deposit.

Excellent, but how do you word that in your contact. e.g. If you leave prior to my paid holidays you forfeit you deposit?

Planned caregiver vacation that falls during the 4 week period of notice is paid by the family.

(this is how I would word it)

I still think I'm not completely understanding. So has a client given me a 4 week notice and the 4 weeks end right before my vacation or during my vacation? Or have they not given me the 4 weeks notice? I guess I'm not really sure what my vacation has to do with it all and I don't actually have anything written about leaving before my vacation in my contact. Yes, I suppose it sucks for me that I might have to worry about an empty spot while I'm on vacation. But as long as they give me 4-weeks notice and that notice is provided on a day that the daycare is open, they get their deposit back.
