She asked me to work on a Friday, so I did. Now she decided that since she gave me Wednesday off, I should have worked on Friday without compensation. I don't want to get paid for the time that I sat in the car at noon, just for the hours 2-5:30 that I actually worked.
I know she's taking advantage of me, so again, should I confront her or not?

I wouldn't create any drama. Just be sweet and move on.

Definitely ask to be compensated for any and all hours worked. You earned it and are entitled.

She is likely treating you this way because you are leaving soon so she may think it doesn't matter as she has nothing to lose now.

That is not right, but if she ends up stiffing you then just let it go.
I would be miffed, but would rather just forget about her and fully move on.....

Let it go OP. Just let it go.

You quit, you're moving on.

Let. it. go.

She ASKED you to work Friday INSTEAD of Wednesday. When you agreed, you were agreeing. You waived your right to extra pay for Friday.

If she was supposed to text you by noon and didn't, I'd have called her at 12:15. You sitting in a car waiting was your own fault.

I have meetings that turn into conference calls and conference calls that turn into in-person meetings regularly. Things change at work quickly.

Lastly, you wouldn't be "teaching her a lesson." You're the one who need to learn a lesson.

Your first post says you agreed to work Friday "instead" of Wednesday because you wanted to be accommodating. So, you agreed to a change to the guaranteed hours agreement. If she paid you your regular M-Th pay, then you've been paid for Friday. Let it go and move on.

Which four hours are you asking to compensate? The hours you waited in your car, or the hours you would have worked on Wednesday? Your MB sounds like a petty douche. But unless your contract specified guaranteed hours, you should expect to be paid only for hours actually worked. Not hours you normally work but didn't, not hours she made you wait in your car but you didn't work. It sucks, but unless your contract says otherwise, she owes you wages only for hours actually worked.

OP here....this is to the person(s) who wrote the last 4 comments.
I did work that Friday, from 2-5:30. She didn't pay me for these hours
because she switched my Wednesday and Friday. I'm guaranteed mo-Th,
whether they need me or not. So she's clearly taking advantage of me and
I'm mad bc she didn't pay me for the hours on Friday. So my question was if I should ask for
the pay for Friday or just let it slide.
She's constantly trying to take advantage and it's really frustrating that's why I quit with a months notice.

About the pool...she was suppossed to text me before 12pm , and she didn't . So I was waiting in the car
not knowing what's going on...how would you like that? I finally texted her asking what's going on, she said come at 2:30.
Well if I knew at 10am I wasn't needed till 2:30, I wouldn't have stayed in the car at noon and would have rather
slept in. Just another example how people treat their nannies and expect us to love their kids?!?!?!!!!!
I'm so done with this. So I was just wondering what I should do?
Ask for the money and teach her a lesson, or just let it slide?

It's not her fault you were waiting in a car nearby in case the kids wanted to go to the pool. That was your decision.

So next week is your last week with the family?

Write this off as a relationship that is about to be over anyway. At this point you're both "phoning it in".

Plus, why would you wait around in your car for a text on Friday when she told you Thursday she would work her meeting from home? You're the one being selfish. She doesn't owe you any money because you didn't work.

You should get paid for all the time you work plus any time that you're agreement says you'll be paid if you're not working.

That said, if she doesn't pay you, IMO you can blow them off w/o notice or little notice and no one would fault you. Enjoy some time off away from them before your new job.

She's just a shitty and selfish person. Do what your gut is telling you.

Hi everyone so I have a question that I need quick advice on.
I work for afamily Mo-Th, part time in the afternoons.
We have a contract for the days and hours, pay etc
Mom works from home most days. They don't treat me well, overwork and underpay
me, and it just happened that she asked me to take Wednesday off
last week and work Friday instead, because she was suppossed to "go to a meeting"
from 2-3 and wouldn't be able to pick up her 4 kids from camp.
But the way she worded it she said "trade Wednesday for Friday".
So I took the high road and thinking since it's an emergency, I'll pinch in on that Friday
and didn't bother me at first to have Wednesday off.
She was suppossed to text me on Friday morning whether or not she wanted me to come in at noon
to take the kids to the pool, which I suggested. Kids didn't want to go, so now it's Friday 11:55am,
I still haven't heard from her . I text her and she tells me I don't need to come till 2:30 because kids don't
want to go to the pool. Fine. Only problem was I've been waiting in the car nearby, so she screwed my whole day.
Oh and on Thursday night she said to me that her meeting on Friday got changed to a conference call
that she could take from home instead.
So I was angry because I think she lied all along, she just wanted a free day of nannying out from me
because she took the kids to see her family on Wednesday and didn't want to pay me for it.
I quit the job 3 weeks ago with a months notice.
The more I think about it now I'm angry for letting her get away with this.
Should I ask her to compensate me for those 4 hours I worked, or just let it slide?
What if she says she won't pay , knowing she screwed me?
I feel like I am forcing myself to go back there, I'm depressed and can't do it anymore.
Constantly trying to screw me over, use me as her servant.
Please tell me what you would do thank you so much!
I know it was my fault, but I was just trying to help, don't tell me I'm an idiot.
I wouldn't have mind it if she indeed went out for the appointment, but the fact that she stayed home
bothers me.
