Hi reddit, I haven't had a reason to ever post here until now since this is my first job and all but I appreciate any advice. Pretty much, back in June I got hired from mutual connections to work for a franchisee (my boss) for a painting business. I've been painting since then and get payed bi-weekly/twice a month. I was supposed to get payed for two weeks in late July when I worked.
Here's where my problem is : After that last job in July my boss hasn't asked me to work at all. At first I figured he was giving me extra time off after my wisdom teeth were removed/didn't have any jobs for me, but after a second week passed without any calls for work I texted him asking if everything was good. Its been a full week since I texted and I still haven't gotten an answer, I have already tried calling him and after no response I left a voice mail asking if something was wrong or if I was out of the loop about something. Its been nearly 3 weeks at this point and I'm starting to get pissed off now since I haven't been payed or gotten any work, but I really don't know what to do since having a job itself is new to me. I'm not sure if he's ignoring me, or if something happened, or anything really and I'm feeling pretty anxious right now.
I'm an 18yo male in Canada if that makes a difference (for laws and whatnot).
Any advice is appreciated!
Edit: I guess I'm fired? I appreciate everyone who replied for their honestly. Maybe I was being too optimistic since it's my first job and I put a lot of effort into it. I'll try and figure out the paycheck thing and ask a few coworkers/connections what's up just to be sure. If I don't get payed sometime soon I'll ask /r/legaladvice . Thanks
