not sure what forum to put this in but anyways.
my bf and i worked at the same bakery recently he decided to move on and found a job that paid more money. well he got into a bit of a disagreement with the boss and didn't continue working his schedualed shifts and left the staff short handed..
well he is owed pay for 30 hours of work and didn't recieve. i feel like i am put in a tough situation because i still work there... i want to stand up for my bf and help him out but on the other hand i don't want to make things tough at work as i need this job until the end of summer when i start school again.. i know there has been talk of "revenge" by sending him his cheque to the wrong address or not paying him at all... my bf has even sent a email giving notice he has not been paid...
i know there has been immature actions on both side
what u guys do?
my thougghts are to stay out of it... none of my business right?
I would stay out of it. If pressed, you could simply say that despite whatever else went on, he is entitled to be paid for the work he did. But I would avoid saying anything at all if you can help it. Let your boyfriend work it out on his own. After all, getting involved can only make you both look immature and could jeopardize your job and the possibility of any good references for the future.
From managing for like 8 years(optical though), he is OWED that money! I am not sure how it works in your state, but in MN, I have to hand the check to the person on the last day. Now being he wasn't fired, not sure how that would work. But, if it is past the pay day, he should have that check! Really immature for the owner to act like that, no matter if the employee acted in an immature way. Why can't you BF pick up the check? Have him call him and tell him he is coming in and wants his check. Personally, I would not get involved. This is between your BF and the owner(even though you want to stick up for the ones you love). If this boss is as immature as you say, and you need this job, I would not get involved in something that is not your business(even though he is your BF). But that is my 2 cents. I wish you all the luck with that mess! Jen
I had an employer withhold my last check because he was angry that I quit. He was an attorney, and sent me a letter explaining how he didn't REALLY owe me that money...
And then, I wrote him a nice long letter quoting the California labor code, and how for every day past my pay period he held that check, he had to pay a certain percentage in penalties.
Needless to say, I got my check very quickly after that.
If he doesn't get his check, he can contact the labor department.
