Oct 22, 2020 at 7:37 comment added Robin Bennett I don't know about Australia, but in the UK the problem is that nurseries are trapped between the minimum wage, child:teacher ratios and the amount the government pays for nursery places. If most of the children only do the hours for which the government is paying, it's hard to meet the required ratio, let alone build in any safety margin. The good nurseries are those where lots of children do extra hours at a higher rate, because they can afford that extra person.

Oct 21, 2020 at 17:06 comment added Robert Columbia +1 exactly. The OP seems to be missing the management aspect of managing. Making these decisions, bringing in additional resources, changing policies, etc. is part of what management is. Arguably, that's what it is, and what makes it different from being a line worker or even basic supervisor. Standing by in horror as things fall apart is not management. The OP needs to start managing the business.

Oct 21, 2020 at 15:32 comment added Strader @guest Understood, sorry for misunderstanding, i meant to have person for 2 hours for example upfront and then, if needed, check it more hours can be worked that day. in any event, locating a replacement person for one that called in sick late at night moves to day hours and not night
Oct 21, 2020 at 14:38 comment added guest Sorry, I assumed that you only pay if the person works the hours. If you say "I pay for 8 hours and maybe I sent you home earlier" than I guess it is legal.
Oct 21, 2020 at 14:36 comment added Strader @guest Why wouldn't it be legal if hours are paid? And its always easier to ask the person that already there if he / she can stay for the rest of the day than scrambling at midnight and waking everyone up

Oct 21, 2020 at 14:34 comment added guest "with option to extend": Please check beforehand if this is legal (i.e. only paying for the rest of the day if needed).
