Short $$

[Anonymous]

My boss gave me cheque short 20 bucks this morning. I get the same amount every week and I worked extra which she asked me before she wrote it.

I didn't see the cheque as she handed it to me folded so I didn't look at it til I packed it into my wallet later on. Her parents arrived late last night so I'm sure it's just confusion. Any suggestions on how to bring it up. I've been here a year and this has NEVER happened before. We have never had any issues... Don't want to cause any either

Just ask her. "Hey, by the way, by my calculation I worked 50 hours and should have been paid $500, but the check you gave me was for $480. Can we go over my work hours to see where the confusion was?"

Shouldn't be hard.

Do you work for fun and not for money? This is not a mistake . Next time LOOK at your check. She shorted you and this is inexcusable. She would have a fit if her paycheck was short. Does she short her mortgage, car payment, utility bills by $20.00? FWIW, I am not a nanny. Send her an email. You earned this money and she is a bitch for not paying you properly.

Text or call ASAP. "Hi, my check this week was $20 short! I didn't realize until now!"

Oh please There are some strange people on this board!

OP, just bring it up with her next time you see her. If anything, she'll be embarrassed that she made a mistake.

Yeah, it is strange for someone to expect to be paid honestly. Obviously, you aren't concerned with paying hourly eployees for ALL hours , not just an arbitrary figure you pluck out of the sky.

OP said that this is the first time this has happened and that MB confirmed the extra time right before writing the check. The MB probably made an input error. Bring it up the next time you see her and I'll bet she'll make the correction right away. Don't be so quick to call someone a bitch, PP, when you don't even know them.
