I’ve been employed at a daycare for over 2 years now. Daycares have an extremely high turnover rate because the pay usually sucks and the job is difficult. The daycare I worked at is no exception. It’s small, family owned with about 4-5 employees at a time. In my two years there, I’ve been about 25 new people come and go.
Until now, I’m the longest employee there. Not to brag, but I’m a stellar employee. I stayed later if I needed too. I was excellent with the kids and cleaning and lesson planning. Kids loved me, parents liked me. My only “flaw” is that my work schedule was completely dependent on my school schedule, so the amount of hours I could work varied. One semester I was able to work full time. The other, I could only do a few hours in the morning.
It’s owned by a middle-aged woman. She floats in when she likes. She has a gambling problem, but whatever. It didn’t effect the daycare until recently. Her mom, a lady in her 60s, is the director and she’s the one there day after day, there at 4 AM to 6:30 PM.
Back in early summer, our pays started being late. The employee handbook says we will get our paycheck no later than 5:30 on paydays. It started out we’d get them later at night on payday, which was always a Friday. Then the Saturday after. Then Monday.
Then checks started bouncing. I was traveling abroad and checked my bank account to see my last check had bounced.
It sucked. But I had no bills to pay, as I was living with my parents while in school. But, we’d always get our pay. Even if it was a few days or a week late.
I had to leave in August to complete my unpaid internship which I need to graduate. My boss and the director called me, saying how much they missed me and how I can come back at anytime. I didn’t see myself as “quitting”, just taking a few weeks break to complete my internship.
I had a day off from my internship and went back to the daycare for a day in September. I have absolutely no income coming in, so even the pay from working a day, which is little more than $50, would be at least some extra money.
So I worked. I waited about two weeks after to message my boss about getting my pay for that day. She responded and said she’ll have my check for me. Okay, great. I go in the next business day to get it. Not there. Uh, okay. I’ll be back later. I message my boss again and she said she’ll bring it that day at 4:30.
I don’t get back to the daycare for another three days. I walk in and it’s dark. I talk to my coworker and the power had shut off because my boss didn’t pay the bill. The director was in tears on the phone with the power company.
I leave, still without my check. I text my boss about it. She asks me if I had PayPal. I told her no, I didn’t.
I haven’t heard from her since. It’s been over a week since I first asked her about my check - a measly $60 that I need as a broke college student.
The problem with working at a small businesses is you get so close with the bosses. This is the same lady who said I could call her at 2 AM if I needed a DD. I considered the director to be like a grandma to me. And now they can’t even give me what I worked for? I feel so disrespected.
