I work as a baker so a small mom and pop restaurant. For a while they have been struggling financially and I’ve been seeing signs of it everywhere; no food trucks for twos weeks, some other employees not getting paid on pay day and only with about eight employees in total. Yesterday they pulled me outside to say they also couldn’t pay me. I asked why they said they are in a financial bind that they hope will be fixed by the end of the night. I asked then if I could be paid tomorrow and they said they wished. I don’t know what to do my boyfriend is furious. He thinks I should call the labor board for wage theft. I feel bad because I know they are struggling and everyone stays because we love our jobs. So I guess I’m asking what is the right thing to do? I can’t work for free and I literally watched this same thing happen to my managers who left after not being paid for months.
