## Concessions and fines

Sibling, staff ward and late fee rules. The rule decides the amount, not whoever is at the window.

How it works

## Concessions without the calculator.

A scheme is written once, given to a child once, and used on every bill after that. Here is one going in.

### Setting up a scheme

- **Name it.** Sibling, staff ward, merit, or start from the three ready ones.

- **Say how much.** A share or a fixed amount, with a cap if you want one.

- **Pick the fee heads.** Tuition only, say, and leave transport alone.

- **Give it to a child,** with a note, and an end date if it has one.

### History doesn’t move

Stop a concession in March and the bills before March keep it. A scheme that has been given to a child can’t be quietly edited later.

### Late fees that are fair

A fine for each day after the due date and your grace days, up to a cap. A cheque that came in on time owes nothing, even if it was entered late.

### Who can forgive

The front desk collects at the [fee counter](https://scoolin.com/features/fee-collection) . Waiving a fine or giving a one-off concession needs the accountant, principal or admin, and a note.

FAQ

## Questions about concessions and fines.

**Still have questions?** Ask us on a [30-minute call](https://scoolin.com/demo) .

### Ready-made

### Which concessions come ready?

Sibling at 10%, specially-abled at 25% and early-bird at 5% on tuition. Change the amounts, or add your own, like staff ward or merit.

### Siblings

### Does Scoolin find siblings on its own?

Not yet. The office gives the sibling concession to each child once; from then on every bill takes it off.

### Late fees

### How is the late fee worked out?

An amount for each day after the due date and grace days (up to 60), with a cap. Changing the rule later doesn’t touch fines already counted.

### Late arrival

### Can coming late to school carry a fine?

Yes, if you want it. Each late mark beyond a free number in the month is added to that month’s bill.
