So I do a little side job for my mom’s company to help them go paperless before they move locations. Normally, I’m working from maybe 10pm – 1:30, far past the time anyone is going to be working in the office. They started making me use an app to clock in a couple months ago, and I just now found out that half the time that I’m clocked in after 11:59pm, my hours from 12:00 am onward get deleted. I just talked to my mom about it, and it sounds like she only wants me to check my hours from a month ago and drop it from there.
When she told me that I really need to start checking my hours from now on, I told her, that as her daughter, yeah I’ll get working on that, but as her employee, she shouldn’t be putting the fault on me. She responded, in quote,
“It is actually the employees responsibility to make sure their hours are correct. That is why you get the email to confirm your hours are correct. That being said – our app seems to have some type of glitch that you uncovered and I apologize for that, as well as thank you for catching it.
As your mother: own up to your part in it please. Both of the employee and employer are responsible for ensuring hours are correct.“
The mentioned email would have just shown the same errors I wouldn’t have noticed in the app.
I think she should be legally obliged to reimburse me for the hours their app caused me to lose, no matter how irresponsible my mother feels I am for it. If anyone can help prepare me for when she inevitably tries to argue about any missing hours from before this month, I would really appreciate it. If it helps, this is in Florida
