Welcome to a post about a common workplace dilemma: the boss who asks you to come in on your day off to do extra work, but refuses to pay you in a legitimate way. In this particular scenario, we’ll explore the situation of working in a restaurant and being asked to come in on a Sunday for a “deep clean,” with the added complication that the boss only wants to pay you in cash.
This can be a tricky situation to navigate, as you want to maintain a good relationship with your boss and also make sure you’re being compensated fairly for your time and effort.
This was the case with a story shared on Reddit recently. What are your thoughts on having to come in for some overtime paid in cash? Honestly, I’ve work in restaurants and had to do this. I thought it was normal and didn’t really bat an eye. What about you?
