Compensatory Measures — Babysitting
Compensatory measures are remedies co-constructed by the parties (or set by an arbiter) to repair a concrete harm arising from a babysitting operation. They are:
- proportionate to the harm actually suffered;
- documented (evidence of the harm and of its cause);
- directly linked to an arbitral decision or a closure agreement — see the Closure / Arbitration Agreement template.
This page is a first, deliberately summary model for the babysitting pilot portal. Each marketplace on WikiDeal maintains its own list of typical compensatory measures.
Typical situations and measures
| Situation | Aggrieved party | Typical compensatory measure |
|---|---|---|
| Late arrival of the babysitter — the babysitter arrives late; the client (parent) loses an activity or a half-day of work because they had to stay with the child. | Client (parent) | Compensation of the loss: refund or lump sum corresponding to the time lost (e.g. the missed half-day of work). |
| Late return of the parents — the parents come back after the last night public transport; the babysitter must take a taxi home. | Babysitter (service provider) | Full coverage of the taxi fare by the parents. |
How a measure becomes binding
- The parties describe the situation and the harm (with evidence).
- They agree amicably, or an arbiter decides, using the single Closure / Arbitration Agreement template.
- The party at fault ratifies the agreement or decision, which closes the operation in full and final settlement.
