Tcha Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 At present we only invoice those parents who pay fees or already use hours at another setting, should we be invoicing all parents even those who are funded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildflowers Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Why invoicing if they aren't paying? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larnielass Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I'm with Wildflowers. Can't see what you would gain by invoicing funded families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel10 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 When I've been audited before the council have wanted the free hours shown on a bill. Alot of work for no gain but it might make parents realise that the 'free hours' are actually costing someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I was toldto invoice, so parents are fully aware of how many hours they have used and how many are left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcha Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Thank you for you replies, it seems a waste of time but if it is a requirement then I'd rather get it right. Why they would need them after we get the parents to sign the funding forms I do not now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnyday Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Two words spring to mind No and Chance....... For goodness sake, we have Parental Declaration Forms, we provide Term dates for all parents....... Absolutely refuse to invoice on top of that - grrrrrrrr :angry: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zigzag Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I'm with Sunnyday on this one. Never been told to do this and until someone tells me to and why, I will not be doing it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finleysmaid Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 perhaps if your LEA are paying you at a lower rate than your supply rate this would be a good idea and then parents can see how much you are losing on funding!!! :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louby loo Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 We have been told we need to invoice the free hours- however it can have no monitory value! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thumperrabbit Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 I remember being told that I needed to invoice even though we weren't open for 15 hours a week so parents never went over funded hours - I'm afriad I must've had an ear infection that day as I really didn't hear what was said correctly so nope never did it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarshaD Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 We too have been told that we must invoice for FEF hours. Presumably to show how many hours have been delivered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
