Session/Fees - Sliding Scale Fee Fixed Session

This article will assist you with creating a sliding scale Fee.

A Sliding Scale Fee can be created to apply daily or weekly.

Daily Sliding Scale Fee

A Daily Sliding Scale Fee can be used if a child receives a discount by attending 2 sessions on the same day.

For example

If a child only attends After School Care the cost is $24.00.

If a child only attends Before School Care the cost is $20.00.

However, if a child attends Before and After School Care on the same day the cost for each is $18.00.

Weekly Sliding Scale Fee

A **Weekly **Sliding Scale Fee can be used if a child receives a discount by attending multiple sessions across the week.

Scenario 1

If a child only attends 1-4 days the cost is $110.00 per day.

If a child attends 5 days across the week, the total cost is $500.00 so works out to be $100.00 per day.

This will apply to children if they are permanently 5 days per week or pick up a casual 5th day.

Scenario 2

If a child only attends 1-3 days the cost is $110.00 per day.

If a child attends 4 days a week, the total cost is $420.00 so works out to be $105.00 per day.

Or if the child attends 5 days across the week, the total cost is $500.00 so works out to be $100.00 per day.
