Your signed daily schedule is your real task list
Before your permit was granted, you and your host family signed a daily schedule covering all seven days, your task hours, your childcare hours, your free days and who covers for you when you are off. This article states what has to be in it, why to keep your own copy, and what happens when it changes.
Your signed daily schedule is your real task list
You and your host family signed a daily schedule before your permit was granted, covering all seven days of the week. It states your task hours, your childcare hours, your free days, and who takes over when you are off. It is the closest thing you have to an official task list, and you are allowed to keep a copy.
What has to be written down
Your daily schedule, the dagindeling, has to state at least four things: how many hours of light supporting household tasks you do and at what times, how many hours of childcare you do and at what times, which days of the week are your 2 full free days a week (checked 2026-08-18), and who takes over your tasks on the days you are off. What actually counts as a task and what counts as childcare is covered in hours-what-counts and light-housework-not-cleaning. The same day you sign the schedule, you and your host family also sign a separate statement confirming the family understands the conditions of the scheme. The schedule itself is the document that actually governs your week.
Keep your own copy
Keep a copy of your signed schedule on paper and on your phone. It is a legal document your agency holds on file, and it is what your agency and the IND check against if a question ever comes up about your hours or your tasks. Having it on your phone means you can point at it directly, in the moment, rather than trying to describe from memory what you agreed to.
If the schedule changes
If your schedule changes after you arrive, or if you or your host family stop following it, that change has to be reported to the IND through your agency. It is not something either of you can simply agree between yourselves and leave unrecorded.
Tracking your own actual hours, separately from the schedule, is the simplest way to show what really happened if the two ever stop matching. It is the only evidence you will have of your own week, in your own words, written down as it happens rather than reconstructed afterwards.
