If I do an end of year receipt for my clients, do I have to do weekly receipts if they ask? I just made one client switch to cash because for some reason she is only one who has issues paying online. Her card won't work, hackers were trying to get into her account, the site was down, etc.. Weird how everyone else pays online just fine... Anyway, I think she's just trying to make it hard on me, and says if she pays cash, she wants a weekly receipt, which I guess I can understand, but if I already do an end of year receipt, am I required to give her a weekly one?

Originally posted by LysesKids View PostI always give a paper receipt for cash ( done on duplicate receipt book) - why? because it's your paper trail proving she paid you in case she comes back & says I paid for this week & she really didn't; another reason is taxes... do you charge for days you are closed for illness, if not one week she might owe less - in that case it keeps your records up to date so the end of year paperwork adds up

Do your clients use childcare pay through minute menu? I set up recurring invoices through the system and my clients tell me they can see the payments I log into the Minute menu/childcare pay system.
If not, I would give weekly receipts. I don't know if it's required by law but it's certainly best business practice. If you're concerned about timing, just prepare a a few receipts ahead of time and only give them to her when you receive payment. (Then you would only have to date the receipt on the spot)

Originally posted by Indoorvoice View PostI just don't want to tell her no and then have it be illegal or something. Everything should be trackable for her, she just has to log in herself.
I had one dcd who was really concerned about my record keeping. (He had been burned before). I printed him out a really detailed report from minute menu and he never brought it up again.
I suppose if you wanted to be certain you could email childcare pay and ask them what parents are able to see when they log in. Then you would know for sure.

Under frequently asked questions, it says that you can click on an invoice and see the payments you have made. It doesn't specify that those payments have to be electronic. Since it is linked to minute menu, I assume that those recorded payments show up as well.
