We used an day care provider who requires a 4 week notice of termination. We paid her at the start of each month. So we paid her November 1st for 4 weeks. On November 15th we gave her a 4 weeks notice of termination. She is expecting to be paid for the 4 weeks termination period starting Dec 1st.
We feel that we are entitled to pay her only uptil Dec 15th, i.e. 4 weeks since the date termination letter was given on Nov 15th.
She is dragging us to court for this.
Are we supposed to pay her for 4 weeks starting Dec 1st.
Thank You

Thank you all for the answers. That clarifies a lot regarding my stand. I will recheck the wording in her contract, but I am pretty sure it only mentions 4 weeks and nothing about the last payment date.
To WI MOM: ???? did you even read the question or just saw the word "daycare" and decided you must comment. Not everyone sends kids to daycare because they love to do so...some must coz they don't have another option...

Check her policy - does she specify that it is four weeks notice from the pay date, or just four weeks notice? Get a hard copy of the policy.
Also, check with your local government office that handles consumer affairs - there will be laws in place.

30 days is 30 days regardless of when the notice is turned in. And that seems excessive, mine only requires two weeks. But what are they going to do if you don't show up any more and just stop paying. They are still service providers and we are the customers. These daycare centers seem to forget that! Mine does all the time and I can't stand the way they patronize the parents. Its getting out of hand, I'm very displease with the way its handled.

I would say that you have to pay her until Dec 15. Is anything in writing? If not she has no case at all. I'm not sure on the laws in your area but maybe you should ask a lawyer. Here in So Cal there is a call-in radio show with a lawyer that answers legal questions. Maybe you could find something like that. Or I've also heard of www.legalzoom.com too. Good luck!

Did you sign a contract? If so, did it specify that you must give four weeks notice from the start of the month/payment period, etc.?
If not, I think you're in the right. If all her policies and contracts stipulate is four weeks notice, then it starts from the day that you gave the notice, end of story.

You rights entitle you to pay for all time worked. that's not suitable in case you end contained in direction of a shift and did not supply her any observe, she has no precise to maintain your paycheck. despite the fact that if she believes which you stole funds, she can not with carry funds from you paycheck. She isn't decide, jury and executioner, with the intention to speak. If she believes which you stole something, she would be able to record a civil or offender criticism, yet then she has to teach that it became you. The decide or jury might could locate you to blame and then they might sentence you. i might tell this lady which you would be informing the interior sight information papers approximately this scandal, regulation enforcement, a lawyer, the exertions board, and all and sundry else you are able to think of of to touch, until she plans on providing you with your pay. If she nonetheless refuses, then touch those human beings and make existence tough for her.

If you gave her 4 weeks notice then you only pay her for time you will use her. She will look like the wiener in court.

Another example of why daycare is a bad choice for our children.
