Sorry if my formatting is wrong. This is my first post.
I work in landscaping. While my boss’s truck was in the shop, he asked if I would be alright with driving the crew to the job site (which is about an hour and a half away). I told him I have no problem with driving AS LONG AS IM COMPENSATED APPROXIMATELY.
I proceeded to drive 4 days that week, an hour and a half each way, three hours round trip, for a grand total of 12 hours on the week.
Come Friday we get done with work and drive home. When I drop him off, he thanks me and hands me a $50 bill. It happened suddenly, so I wasn’t really able to realize how much I got ripped off.
The next week I approached him and explained that what he paid me wasn’t even enough to cover the gas I used while driving the crew. He didn’t have much to say on the matter, just reluctantly handed me $30 and walked away frustrated. I didn’t go back to work.
