[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an MB.  I want to make sure that I have the timeline right - you worked this past Saturday and Sunday and you normally get paid on Monday?  Today is Tuesday and you are wondering where the money is?  Or was it a full week ago that you worked the overtime?  Do you get direct deposit or a check?

Let me tell you what likely happened from the perspective of someone who recently lost someone.  The entire week my family member died, I was in a fog.  Entire week.  Our nanny worked a ton of overtime, and was amazing, but did the thought cross my mind to give her a check at that time?  No.  Would I have been annoyed if she had asked me then.  You bet.  Then again, I guess it depends on your relationship with your nanny.  Our nanny knew I was good for it, and when I came back to the realm of dealing, I paid her the overtime.  I also forgot to pay our mortgage, car payment, water bill, etc.  When you lose someone you care about, bills are the last thing on your mind.  In your case, it has beeen TWO DAYS.  Give the woman a break.  If she hadn't given you your regular paycheck, that's one thing, but give her a couple of days to get herself together and then if she hasn't given you the overtime, you can ask for it.

As a practical matter, if you get paid by a direct deposit check or a payroll service, then your MB would not have had time to make a change as those need to be made a week in advance.  It sounds like you are paid a paper check, so perhaps that isn't applicable, but just a thought.

Look, I agree that you should be paid, but I guarantee you, your MB has 1001 other things she is dealing with.  Please let her grieve for two days.
