Last Straw! Termination Letter Wording Help Please

[Mamma_Mia]

Sorry to keep you waiting Yesterday (sunday) I receive a text from her say this exctly:

"Im gonna need daycare receipts for Jan-Mar 9. I need it for court tomorrow. have them ready for when I get there." (not even a could you please do me a favor etc.)

--I don't provide receipts, never said I would/do

"Relax. It isn't for taxes, I need them for court only"

(seriously who the **** does she think she is?)

---I'm not surprised you're contacting me, that just means you didn't read the letter like to asked you too.

"no I didn't. Why?"

---I also assumed you were not coming back to daycare after what you did....I made it very very clear to you about payment & you short paid me AGAIN even after our talk last week. Myabe you didn't think I was serious, I am. Per the contract short payment is ground for IMMEDIATE termination of care. My house, My rules - you obviously do not respect my rules. So good luck finding alternitave care for your daughter.

"whatever"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~

And I haven't heard from her since....the nerve of that woman? Who are you to try to boss me around in my house and demand things? f'off and good riddance!

I'm 100000% glad this is over!

Wow that women has some nerve - seriously expects you to whip up a receipt for court in less than a day - like she has not known for WEEKS she would be in court tomorrow - if indeed she is EVEN in court - sounds fishy to me?

....--I don't provide receipts, never said I would/do...

I would be careful here ... legally we are REQUIRED to provide receipts for childcare as clients are eligible for a tax credit for childcare payments. Failure to provide them could wind you up in trouble specially if she needs one for court and says you are 'refusing' to issue one - you could find yourself all up in an audit

Payments made in cash are suggested to be receipted as paid and receipts for payments by cheque can be given out annually in one 'lump sum tally receipt' as clients have their cancelled cheques as 'proof of payment' as well ....but we are required to GIVE receipts either way!

My handbook and policy clearly states that parents are responsible to keep any 'receipts for cash' as given for their own records and that an official childcare tax receipt will be issued ANNUALLY for care contracted between January 1 - December 31st of that year and will be available no later than the following February 28th . So technically if this lady was MY client, and only because she has been such a COW, I would refuse to issue it until NEXT February as per my contract because 2012 has not 'ended' yet and I am not obligated to give it 'before' legally required

I totally agree with Inspired by Reggio here. You might even want to shoot off a text that says you mis-typed and of COURSE she will be getting her tax receipt next year as required, but additional receipts cannot be issued at this time. Since she has in writing that you plan not to issue receipts, you could be in trouble if she decides to be even MORE of a cow about it. Best to cover your butt.

Sorry you are going through this. I just had a rough termination last week myself, and I don't wish these types of people on anyone!
