Had a job booked for 4 hours this afternoon and 4 hours tomorrow morning, booked at the 'day' rate. Job booked on the 4th. Lady moving house;
E mailed her last night asking for the old & new address's. Got a reply at 07:55 this morning telling me the move had been cancelled.
I have so much going on at the moment I won't have any problem filling in the gaps, in some respects it's done me a favour, but for many self employed tradesmen it could cause a loss of a days pay.
Don't know why the move was cancelled, no reason given. Could have been a bereavement or just a lovers tiff.
I've mildly reprimanded her for such short notice, but I could have charged her a late cancellation fee I suppose.
I'm wondering if I should add something to my T&C to say that cancelling at short notice incurs a fee?
