Hello everyone!

I would like your opinions on the following issue:

In my handbook/contract I require first and last month's fees upon starting, and I have a one month trial period, during which either party may terminate the contract.

I have had a potential client ask if the "last month's fee" is refunded if the contract is terminated during the trial. I have never had a parent ask this, and have never terminated or been terminated within the first month.

Does this make sense?? Should I eliminate the trial period?? I feel that if I were the one to terminate within the first month, I WOULD return the last month fee. But I'm not sure about what I would do should the family terminate. Again, I've never had to do this, so I don't know what my answer would be to this potential client.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!
