I should get paid for this, right? I should!

[Anonymous]

You most definitely should be paid OP and I think your MB is expecting to pay you, she just has a lot on her mind now w/regards to her Aunt passing away.

I would wait a week or so, and if she hasn't added it to your pay, then I would mention it to her.

Make sure you tally up the days/hours you worked for her.

You should also make sure this is the last time you go outside the scope of your job for her as well as start looking for a new job. Death is not an excuse to treat someone else, particularly someone who has gone way beyond the call of duty, as poorly as she treated you.

FWIW, when FIL passed away MIL still remembered to pay those who needed/deserved to be paid.

She made one comment one time. Who knows, maybe OP asked if right after MB got off the phone regarding something with her aunt's death and she didn't even here OP's question. Could she have handled it better? Sure. But I don't think OP is being treated poorly. As many have pointed out, due to pay schedules, the time that OP covered will likely be on the next pay check. Now, if OP brought it up again or emailed her and her MB still blew her off I'd have a different comment.

Any updates?

I definitely agree you should be paid, but I think your timing was a little off. I would of maybe broached the subject towards the end of the wk, rather than two days after it. If I worked extra hours over the wkend and my next payday was the Monday, I wouldn't expect the pay for that wkend to be paid then but the following wk

Why? Takes a week rather than a day to do the math?

Dollars to doughnuts, her MB has no intention of paying OP her hourly rate but plans to give her $100.00 to 'thank her" for kindly helping her during "this sad, tragic family crisis."

OP, if she pulls this crap, stand your ground and tell her that she must pay you hourly fee, plus any OT. This is a job and you are not a philantrophist.

Well said, 10:02.

Because of this horrible breach of nanny (and human) rights I prepose that we stand in solidarity with our sister by calling in sick.

Where did OP say this? Or are you just assuming.

Well since OP has "forgotten" to give an update and any indication that she was going to follow up with MB, I'm going with another troll post trying to make all MBs sound like terrible people.

[Anonymous]

I wondered about that as well, 11:57. If it was, though, it wasn't very successful because nearly everyone who posted agreed that OP should be paid.

Of course, there were many nannies who were mean in their responses, but sadly, that's to be expected here.

If she's paid through payroll it takes a few days for the transaction to go through.

What makes you think that's the case here?
