Last week, my dcm never paid the $70 she still owed me for the week. I reminded her and she said "I'll just give it to you with the next 2 weeks payment." I assumed she meant she'd get it all to me the next day. She didn't. I am to be paid Fridays and she didn't pay. She showed up this morning $65 short for covering last week and this week, so I reminded her payment is due FRIDAY in ADVANCE of care, so she would have to take her daughter and get the rest of the money for the week. They've been gone 30-45 minutes, so I don't think they're coming back today.
My policy states:
I require payments to be made in advance of childcare services. All payments are due on Friday for the upcoming week of care."
The dcg is a terror. She had me in tears on Thursday because she was so terrible. And dcm acts like I'm the enemy and won't communicate at all. This is their first time using daycare and my first clients, so it's been a steep learning curve.
I guess long story short, I'm wondering if I did the right thing by sending them away for nonpayment?
