[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have catered at funerals and expected to be paid as I was paid in all cayering jobs, e.g., paid in full on date of event.  I ran a business not a charity. OP's MB was a jerk to have told her she "couldn't deal" with paying her.  She should have had a check already prepared for her and thanked her profusely for OP's heroic efforts for her.  Her MB is at fault.[/quote]

lol, you get how stupid you sound right?  You get paid daily for your catering, that's your policy.  The nanny gets paid on a per pay period basis, see how they're completely different?  Lord, I hope you aren't a nanny.[/quote]
You get how stupid you sound, right? PP was pointing out that in most businesses dealing with death, payment is not an issue. Why should it be here? A death is not a special excuse to be unprofessional. [/quote]

Yes exactly. Because as trying as a time like that is, people always manage to pay the funeral directors, the caterers, etc. What if OP hadn't been available on such short notice for a 3am call? MB would have had to call someone else - neighbor, friend, other sitter - and absolutely would have been expected to pay them at the time services were provided. These hours OP worked were not "extra income" for her, they were a favor, and her MB should have paid her in cash (or by check) on the spot OR said, "I hope it's okay if I add these hours to your next paycheck?" rather than expecting OP to sit and wonder how and when she'd be paid. Without her MB communicating one or the other, of course OP had every right to ask.[/quote]
