If you charge 1/2 fee for your holiday then charge half fee - for the amount of time you would have them. I personally don't charge for my holiday, but charge full fee for parents holiday. I just fill in the relevant points in the NCMA contract. I do however write in the additional notes section on page 2 that if we both take holiday at the same time then 1/2 fee is payable. Hope this helps!

I agree with Tasha - but have never charged a parent if they are on holiday at the same time as me.

In your case the holidays were booked before the arrangement started so I would charge 1/2 fee.
