Was it rude to ask if you'd be paid two days after your MB's loved one passed away? Yes. Very.
Should you have been paid? Yes.
But the fact that you waited for 7 pages before mentioning that any other time you've worked a weekend, she's paid you that Monday....yeah, I call troll.
Congrats. You made people argue over something stupid, you've made many call your "MB" all sorts of names. You get a cookie.

OP said that, up to this point, she didn't have a single issue with her.

Thank you for taking care of this immediately.
No need for OP to beg or offer condolences. It is time for her MB trying to shaft her. I agree with you that OP needs to findnew job.
Assuming OP wants to keep her job, this is very poor advice.

Yes, you should get paid. She should pay you generously... a 3am call? Wow!!
I like the idea someone threw out about an email with some very kind words, a summary of hours, and a "no rush, the next week or two is okay" closure would sound very gracious on your part.
And if she continues to not pay, another reminder, and then... I guess you find another job with someone who's kinder and has their act together.

Please see my previous post at 19:43 that was quoted above. Your response is based on hindsight, mine are based on compassion, empathy and current reality.
Seriously, get over yourself. I was not being rude. I had plenty of compassion, I did come in...didn't I. In the past when I've worked weekends I get paid the following Monday. Why do you people get so high and mighty?

OP I am convinced most of the people-dare I say women-here have fun playing devil's advocate. Since this is an anonymous forum, people are free to be a lot bitchier than they are in real life, and in the nanny world we all know there is a lot of pent up anger and frustration. Let it go. You did the right thing. Your MB took advantage of/is taking advantage of the situation to try to flake out on paying you a lot of extra money. Seriously though, start looking for a new job, she sounds like a self absorbed nightmare.

Has she failed to pay you in the past? This is very strange.

Wow, some of you didn't read my post very well. I never "demanded the money". Not once. I asked if I was going to receive compensation on this check, or the next. MB said, "I can't deal with this right now." and I let it go. Never have I gotten my answer. Got my check yesterday, and guess what! Still nothing. I'm assuming she forgot, and I am bringing it up in person today. I prefer to communicate face to face. One of the reasons I despise these boards is because some of you don't even read the original post. You decided what you want to after skimming through and act is if I did something sacrilege. Asking for payment for extra hours is not "rude or insensitive".
Doing it the day after the funeral is.
Regardless, you should be paid your full wage plus overtime. Your MB is now in the wrong and is being rude and insensitive. You deserve to be handed a check/cash tomorrow.
Sorry you are being put in the position that you have to ask. Now you know where you stand if she needs emergency help again. You should tell her you want to be paid in cash on the date of service.
READ THE OP AGAIN! I did not ask for the payment the day after the funeral, I asked when/if I would be paid.
Honestly, it is the same thing. Possibly even worse by asking "if" you would be paid as that implies that won't be paid at all. I would've been more offended by an "if".
