Me:
Hi Boss,
I wanted to let you know that I haven't received my pay statement, which I usually get on Wednesdays, or an update on payworks for today or this pay period, and I haven't been paid.
Boss:
Yes my alert didn’t go off and I completely missed payroll this week. Totally my fault. Payroll was submitted just now and you'll be paid for the 72 hours on the 31st so 12:01am on Tuesday morning. My apologies for the oversight. I’ve reviewed all of my payroll alerts to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Again.. I’m terribly sorry.
Seriously? 5 days late and they, the owner, can absolutely afford to just pay me now. Why would I want to go to work for the next 4 days?
This is just the latest issue.
I don't work for free.
