OKAY, I'll give my advice, but you need to read the letter and give your advice too!

 

Dear Lindsey: "I am having a costly problem with my boss. We get along really well, but two or three times a week she'll send me out to get coffee for her. She usually doesn't have change and says she'll settle up with me later, except often she forgets. It's costing me about $15 a week which may not seem like alot to you, but it is for me. $60 a month is a lot for a single mother. My boss hasn't paid me back in over two months. Last time I checked, she owed me $132. How can I get her to pay me?"

Julie, first of all, save ALL reciepts.  My advice would be....the next time your boss mentions you going for coffee, simply state to her that you will need money because you have none.  Then say, "Do you  have the time right now to square up with me from the past couple months?" Julie-don't be afraid to approach her. She may be a boss, but she treats you like a friend. Would you ask a friend for the money if they owed you? Yes. So do the same with her.  Just be polite. Your both adults. She'll understand. And if she doesn't, I'd start looking for a new job.

 

That's just MY opinion. What's yours? Let's all help Julie!
