Vacation pay in London Ontario

[Peacefulbird]

I wouldn't call a payed vacation, because you're self-employed there is something against it, I kind of just explain in my contract that when the families are in holidays (vacations usually two weeks etc) my daycare remains open therefore they still have to pay it. But, also I tell parents that anyone can suggest their two weeks off dates, and see if all my families agree with the same dates and we all go off the same time. It works wonderfully because parents aren't under the pressure to get an alternative care and I still get payed. Also I have five sickness days and all the stats holidays covered.

Perhaps, the parents you're dealing with, know more about the regulation for self employed people.
