    While some on here seem be rolling eyes at €20 - you would be surprised how much that is when things are tight

    Go into the store and have a big ****e just inside the front door. Tell him to pay up or there's more to follow.

    Thins kind of stuff happens all the time, Used to Work in a place Doing IT support. Could be held up on the phone 5-10 min here and there when supposed to be at lunch. You would get the manager running over when you came back late the 5-10 mins, I would say I'm not late I took the 1 hr that I am entitled to. Used to come in Early most of the time and start working at that time, Yet same manager would be going nuts if you were 3 mins late in the morning.

    I saw it as if I didn't have a choice! Are you saying you'd leave with no one to attend to the shop?

    In this day and age yes, But i know how you feel. Your the only one though there that seemed to feel responsible about this. Managers job to have staff in on time. I would feel the same way, But it’s nice to think of just walking out when your time is up.

    I'll admit that I feel like getting my own back. Like if I just came in some day and pull a bluff on the cashier to do a pay out from the till.

    He knows I must be pissed. I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of an ex-employee over €20, but he must think he's untouchable.

    Not getting why you have to mention that the person on the shift after yours is Indian.

    Jesus Christ who cares. Mentioning someone's nationality when describing an incident isn't a sign someone's a racist bastard, relax.

    I know a lot of people like this...they know that most people won't fight them tooth and nail over 5, 10, 25, 50 quid or whatever. So they pull stuff like this.

    The worst thing is, they usually get away with it.

    You can keep after him / file a complaint / do whatever - but at the end of the day, you'll end up spending countless hours fighting for the 20 he owes you. If you get it at all. Sure, you are wasting his time, but he secretly loves it. It's like a game for him.

    I had friends in college who would ask to borrow something / borrow some money and then, turn it into a game of how long they could go without repaying you. They'd perpetually mooch all they could.

    Scummy as the boss sounds, you'd spend more than €20 chasing it up.

    Sorry OP, but it might be just best to let it go.

    If you go the route of small claims court can you claim expenses too?

    Costs 25 euro to take a case there so not worth it to be honest plus the time and energy.

    I got ripped off a few times myself OP by employers count yourself lucky it was only 20 euro. One employer owed me almost a week and got away with it

    You do need to grow up. 10 or 15 minutes here and there! I often would get delayed at work for the guts of a hour several times a week and could have perhaps 20 hours a month done over and above what I was paid for - it was just part of the job or what you did to help things out. Do you think you were in the public service or something? Maybe you should have been paying union membership so they could take up your grievances.

    If you want to donate 10 or 15 minutes of your free labour to your employer, that's your business. But if I'm being paid hourly, you'd better pay me for the hours I work.

    If he left 15 minutes early and told his boss he worked the full hour, he'd probably get fired.

    It's interesting to think that he completely trusts in me to deal with large amounts of cash, day in, day out, but yet he'll pick a fight with me over €20

    If the boss did it to the indian, he'd probably sioux. This rogue company is scalping you Boobs, they probably have apache record when it comes to paying overtime and are taking teepee. The real question is how you will recover your lost wages, How?










    might as well try, sure it's feckin €20 anyway, you'd drop it when jarred and whinge less..

    I'd say it was meant as a joke that went a bit askew. I doubt there was much odious involved. Maybe there was, but that poster isn't here to fight his corner.

    To all the people arguing that the OP should "grow up" because it was only 15 minutes "here and there." It wasn't "here and there," it was ten times - ten times that she did it unpaid. She did it over and over and over again, all because of another employee not doing their job properly, and while her boss took full advantage of her obliging nature, he let the other employee do whatever the f*** they wanted.

    Her boss clearly didn't give a flying-f*** about her or her rights, while letting the other employee get away with murder, and I suspect that's what the OP is understandably p***ed off about; not the 20 euro or the "here and there."
