I work long hours , I am caring, always on time, genuinely care for my clients.
I am a care assistant.
I was initially to be paid on the 18th of each month.
then it was moved to the 26th of each month.
Then it was to be the last working day of the month.
I am still waiting for my complete pay for august (248 hours)
Last month my pay was either late or simply given in dribs and drabs.
I had to borrow money to pay my rent (I live alone)
My employer makes excuses
"i haven't been paid by the council
"i didn't know other employees haven't been paid"
I am living hand to mouth as it is, I am in despair for the last two days, desperate for full payment of my hard earned salary, yet it is not forthcoming.
I must ensure my car Insurance isn't cancelled as I need my car for visiting my clients.
Last month I was forced to ask my nan who is a pensioner to lend me the funds as my rent was due but I hadn't received my full wages, yet again.
Needless to say I am on Zero hours contract, I just don't know what I can do to keep my head above water.
No one cares.
My Employer doesn't care.
He drives his status car around yet his workforce are in despair.
I feel like just giving up.
But I battled through a dysfunctional childhood, to be the mature Independent person I am today.
But AIBU in believing/expecting my Employer to pay my salary on a regular basis each month?
