[quote=Anonymous]I've been with my current family for about 3 months. I'm the first nanny they've employed. They're great people - very thoughtful, kind, and fair. Don't try to take advantage of me at all. I am guaranteed 40 hours a week and often get to leave early due to MB's irregular schedule.

Last week was very busy for MB with work. On Friday (which was also my payday) she left in the morning and said she'd be back later (as opposed to DB). She usually leaves my paycheck on the fridge, and it wasn't there, but I didn't say anything because of course I just assumed she'd grab it when she came home. However, she ended up getting held up due to an emergency at work, and so about an hour before I was due to leave, DB phoned saying he'd be home instead, but about 30 mins later than the time I'm supposed to leave. Not great, but not a huge deal. So he got home, and when I mentioned that I hadn't received my check yet he went downstairs to search the office for it. He couldn't find it, and so wrote me a check for my usual amount from his personal account.

I'm not sure what to do about that extra half hour I worked. I realize in the grand scheme of things it's a small amount of time/money, and I also realize that I often get to leave early on other days. However, it was also outside my hours and a very last minute change on a Friday evening when I had plans. I'm leaning towards thinking I should just not mention anything since I know it is just a case of oversight on DB's part (not thinking to add in that extra half hour when writing my check) and it's not a huge deal to me. But I also don't want to cheat myself or set a precedent. I'm sure if I brought it up DB and MB would be very apologetic and compensate me properly right away. What do you guys think?
