    I am a dinner cashier for a school and when the child is absent or the school is closed for snow day etc, the money just gets carried over, so you will have a credit on the register, best thing to do is to send in less money next week and attach note/write on envelope a little message.

    it works the other way too - if you don't pay for a week you then have a debit on the register - lol! - then you get a letter home.

    On the odd occassion my daughter takes school dinners (normally a pack lunch chick) then if the school is closed or if she is off sick and I have already paid (money has to be in on a Monday) then they give her the cash back the next time they see her.
  • My school doesnt give the money back as such but we just send a day less the following week and it gets carried over. I have never had to pay for a meal he hasnt had. :-)


    Same here we normally get a note from the secetary saying to only send in x amount the following week.
