Communicating To Parents When They Don't Pay

You have a right to expect your parents to pay on time.  You are
providing a service to families, and you should be paid for that
service just as the utility companies are paid for the services they
provide.  Many of your parents will pay on time.  But, just as some
customers do not pay their utility bill, some parents may not pay you.

Here are some suggestions to help ensure prompt payment from parents.

	Be clear about your payment policies. Parents must know how to pay and when you expect payment.  Discuss this policy with them during their initial interview.
	Provide them with the information in writing. So many things are discussed during an interview that details are often forgotten.
	Make it convenient for parents to pay on time.  Your payment schedule may not match their needs.  Some parents may prefer to pay for two weeks at a time or on a monthly basis.  It may be easier for parents to pay on their payday.
	If you are having problems with a particular parent, find out if a different payment schedule would make things flow more smoothly.  While this may be more work you in terms of book- keeping, you are assured of getting paid for your work.
	Establish a consequence for late payment.  Despite your best attempts, some parents may continue to pay late even after you have discussed the matter and explored various solutions to the problem.
	Charge a late fee.  Make sure that you explain your late-fee policy to parents at the initial interview and it's written into your contract or your brochure.

Parents must understand that you are running
a business and you have a right to be paid on time.
