Principles

1. The basis of these Tariff Regulations is the Childcare Act (KiBG), enacted by the Landsgemeinde on May 1, 2022, and the resulting, applicable ordinances.

2. The monthly flat rate covers the contractually agreed care modules during school weeks. Care during school holidays and individual bookings will be additionally charged according to the same tariff system.

1. Tariff Model

Module | Weighting | Maximum Tariff | Minimum Tariff

1. The tariff regulations generally apply to childcare services for school-aged children operated by the municipality of Glarus Nord.

1. The determination of the creditable income is carried out in accordance with the Ordinance on the Implementation of the Childcare Act (Childcare Ordinance, KiBV).

2. The tax values are taken into account as follows

a) joint tax values of married parents;

b) the sum of the tax values of cohabiting parents;

d) upon an intra-year change in the creditable income of at least CHF 10,000.00 for the following month.

1. The care modules are weighted based on their operational effort.

2. The minimum and maximum care fees for the individual care modules are specified in Appendix 1.

1. If parents are required to pay childcare contributions for several children, they are granted a sibling discount in accordance with the legal bases (KiBG, PauBV).

5. If the legal guardians do not fulfill the agreed obligations according to the User Regulations, the Care Agreement can be unilaterally terminated by the municipality.

6. The use of the social tariff requires the submission of the current tax assessment or the presence of a power of attorney. The power of attorney authorizes the responsible offices of the municipality of Glarus Nord to obtain the most recent final assessment regarding cantonal and municipal taxes, or direct federal tax, from the main tax department in order to assess financial capacity. In all other cases, the maximum tariff will be charged.
