[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are not being shortchanged or cheated.  You are being paid for the time you actually work, which is consistent with the way 99% of hourly jobs out there work.  If that is not your understanding of the deal you struck with this family, you need to step up and explain to the Dad that there has been a misunderstanding about your compensation.

I can't believe you just sent them an email saying that you won't be available to them, with no explanation.  That is incredibly immature and short-sighted.  Honestly, if you are that hot-headed and incapable of dealing with conflict, the family is probably much better off without you.  Now they can hire a professional who acts as such.  [/quote]

I don't think that there are many jobs that give you a start time, expect you to be there ready to go, and then don't pay you from your start time.   I used to work in a daycare.  I was supposed to be there at 7:00 to open.  If the first child didn't arrive until 7:10, I still got paid from 7:00.  Similarly, I don't think the 7 11 clerk is unpaid if no one happens to be shopping.

I do think the OP should offer a reason.  It's possible that Dad just didn't know what time she started.  It's possible he's an asshole.  Either way it can't hurt to offer a reason, and can possibly help. [/quote]
