Breach of contract and calculations of the amount payable to your caregiver.
The final settlement is calculated at the end of the contract between the employer to his employee. Depending on the type of termination, it is not always calculated in the same manner. Indeed, some benefits are lost in the case of misconduct or loss of license.
The last paycheck to your childcare provider.
- If your childcare assistant works until the last day of the month, you will pay her regular salary based on the calculation of monthly payment set in the contract.
- If her contract is terminated during the month, the calculation is a bit more complicated. It is necessary to determine the daily or hourly rate so you can pay her for time worked.
- If you normally pay your childcare provider a monthly rate you can calculate the daily rate, example: You pay $1000 a month. 1000 x 12 months in the year = 12,000. 12,000 ÷ 52 weeks ÷ number of days worked per week.

Do I need to pay for hours not worked?
Can my childcare provider owe me?
Unless you are paying her in advance for her services, which we strongly advise against, she should not owe you for any services not provided.
The reimbursement of the deposit.
Often times in-home childcare professionals will ask for a deposit at the start of the care (usually equivalent to 2 weeks pay). This is so that if parents decide not to pay or to cancel without notice, the childcare provider is not out what she is owed. Many care providers will allow parents to use this deposit towards the last 2 weeks of care.
