What Should I Title This Form?

[Crazy8]

I am making a new form that is JUST the financial end of my agreement with parents and not sure what to call it.

Right now I have a "parent/provider agreement" which is like a contract and handbook in one (about 6 pages long - just basic policies). I want to keep that title for that "book" but it will be more in-depth with policies/procedures and I want to create a separate form that is just about contracted days/hours and fees involved - so a total money/schedule page.

I was thinking just "financial agreement" or "financial contract" but wondered if there was a better title to use.

Financial Contract?

[providerandmomof4]

Financial agreement sounds good to me.

Payment Agreement/Contract? Tuition and Fees? I like Financial Agreement.

I like financial agreement as mentioned above sounds professional.

I have mine listed as Child Care Contract...HTH!

My contract handles all of the time and money aspects of my agreement and that I call the "Contract Agreement".

My handbook is where I put all of the "other stuff" but I talk about the stuff in the contract also but in more detail. That's my "Parent's Handbook: Policy Guide".

I have a separate "contract" and "handbook". The contract is about 2 lines. It is the days/times the child will be here and the tuition rate. The handbook has everything else including a signature page.

I call mine "Fee Schedule."

Me too. I think that's what Tom Copeland recommends.

I have a separate Tuition Schedule, but it's informational, not contractual.

"Follow My Rules"

I have a separate Parent Handbook that outlines everything in detail (I know it's over 10 pages now...) that has a Parent Handbook Agreement form to go with it. Then I have a "Caregiver/Parent Agreement" form that tells what days and hours the child will be here, what the rate is, what the late fee is for after hours, what the penalty is for failing to pay on time, what meals are provided, and how many weeks notice I require for them to terminate the contract.

2. Financial agreement

That's pretty much what I'm planning on doing now, just wanted something that really differentiates the names of each of them - I think I will go with Financial Agreement. I think people pay attention when something says Financial. ::

From what I was taught in my FCC management class my teacher (an ex-FCCP) as well as the book we used "Contracts and Policies" by Tom Copeland's, said that your contract is an agreement that has anything that has to do with money or dollar amounts (including but not limited too: tuition, late/early fees, registration fees, deposits, payment schedules, refund policies, and supply re-embossments). And your policies are just where you state your house and daycare rules and possibly daily schedules/routines. So I would just refer to it as "**** child care contract".

But if you do want a special name for it here are some other ideas:
Monetary contract
Tuition contract
Rate and Fees contract
Pecuniary contract

If you want to mix it up some more here are some other words for contract (some mean a legal agreement or promise):
Agreement (as you already know)
Promise
Treaty
Pact
Compact
Covenant
Responsibility
Onus
Liability
Duty
Deed
Lease
Pledge
Vow
Undertaking
Commitment
Obligation
Oath
Gage
Guarantee
Warranty
