> Something sneaky is going on. He put both my Mom's and my money in the same envelope. He most definitely did not give use minimum wage. Plus, he didn't give my Mom overtime even though she worked like 30 hours extra. We don't even know how much he gave each of us as he didn't give a number.

> We worked 10 days, with 11 hour days on the weekdays and in the envelope was a little over $900 for the both of us. He added some hours to my Mom's regular paycheck so we can't even figure out how much he is giving us. I calculated that even with less than minimum wage of $9/hour, I would get about $855 for the hours I worked. Minimum wage here is $9.50/hr. Now this $900 he gave us is for both me and my Mom, it is definitely not meeting minimum wage.

> I wonder if he was thinking of not paying us. It sure took a long time to get paid. I want to confront him about the minimum wage thing, but my Mom tells me to just let it go.

> However, I am not willing to be taken advantage of. I worked my *ss off for him and then he tries to cheat us?

>wow deneb, that sounds sneaky. It's hard when you are the only one wanting to take action, but I like your attitude. Being cheated after working hard is NOT right. What are you going to do?
