Help ! Invoices For Parents Claiming Over 15Hrs !

[fimbo]

After a long break of not having to do the invoices, i have decided to go back to doing them.

so - we have some children doing over their 15 hrs , over 2 settings.

i know how to calculate what the parent needs to pay.....but im finding it hard to show the parents (in a simple easy to understand manner) how its worked out !!

 

this is how i calculate it..... (we are lego preschool.....jimmy riddle is the child lol !!!)

 

jimmy riddle

 

lego preschool - claims 3 hours

duplo preschool -claims 18 hours

 

total hours claimed - 21 hours

 

 

lego preschool 3 hrs / 21 x 15 = 2.14 funded hours received

duplo preschool -18hrs / 21 x 15 = 12.85 funded hours received

 

therefore

lego preschool need to charge and extra 3/4 hr per week

 

how do others do their invoices ???

I don't show any other setting's hours or funding on my invoices. Just how many hours they do with us per month, minus the funding.

So if Jimmy Riddle attended for 70 hours that month and had 60 hours funding deducted his balance would be for 10 hours.

Depends how funding works in your area. We get funding as a priority if parent signed up with us first!

So if you are second setting then you would charge for all hours as duplo setting would get all 15 free and charge for 3.

Our parents have to claim a minimum of 2.5 hours in one session to get funding and as a result one of our children who has 11 hours at another setting can only get funding for 1 x 3 hour session with us and pays full rate for her other 3 hour session.

we too only show for our own setting, number of hours funded being deducted from the number of hours attending and the remaining hours charged at the usual rate..

[fimbo]

in our area the funding is split proportionatly (sp?)

so if i show on the invoice number of hours booked minus number of hours funded = amount due ?

 

thankyou ! x

We too invoice hours booked, minus funded hours = amount to pay.

Our funding is also split proportionately!

Also, only show hours above funded hours the parent has allocated to us, ours can get a bit confusing as we cross 2 counties, 1being hours per term and 1 hrs per week, can see it getting more confusing with hours to carry over for use in holidays

[rachelllps]

Here in Essex parents have to fill in a form declaring the hours they want funded over a term, for each setting that the child attends (two settings only) up to the maximum of 15 hours per week for 14 weeks (Autumn term.) If they take extra hours then these are charged at the settings current fee rate.

We only show our hours for our setting - our invoicing system is set up so the parent sees the total amount of hours accessed in a month and below that the amount of NEG hours deducted from the total ( usually 60 depending on number of days ,but for our all year rounders who split over 12 months its 47.5 ) so the parent can see how much neg has been applied, then the outstanding payable balance.
