Child Care Payroll: Minimum Wage Rises July 24

The U.S. Federal Minimum Wage rises July 24, 2009 to $7.25 per hour. If your State Minimum Wage is already higher than that it won’t directly affect your child care business. For those of you who need to implement the change you may find that some employees will have part of their next paycheck at the old hourly rate and part of it at the new rate.

Child Care Time and Attendance: 3 Things to Consider

Tracking time and attendance for children at your childcare, daycare or preschool is an important record keeping task. You may interested in Free Sign In Sheets or perhaps you’re looking to automate time keeping with a Daycare Time Clock or by using a computer check in program with Time and Attendance Software.

Here are 3 things to consider as you look for a time and attendance tracking solution. 

Tracking Employee Childcare

It’s quite likely that at least some staff members at your child care, daycare or preschool have young children of their own. In fact children of employees may already be enrolled at your center. Perhaps you even offer them a discount on their child care tuition because they are on staff. But how do you track it? Can you deduct it directly from their payroll checks? Is it necessary to record daycare fees separately for the child?

Well, that’s what we’re going to answer with today’s blog post. The short answers are “Yes” the amount for child care may be deducted from paychecks and “Yes” you may also record the fees separately for the child.
