I have been doing alot of on the side AutoCad Landscaping work for my ex-bfs dad. He pays me $15 an hour, and I do whatever he asks for when it comes to the job he gave me.
Now all of a sudden, he swears up and down he has been paying me 12 an hour, not 15. And he has proof! *sarcasm*
He went back through all the sums of money he has paid me, divided them by twelve, and it all works out.
For example, the last check I received was for 3.5 hours, at 15 an hour. I was paid 52.50.
We he, in his great wisdom, decided I actually worked 4.375 hours, for 12 an hour. The only problem is, I either round up, or round down. More often I round down. I would never bill for that.
Same with all the other checks. Very odd hours I have been working. But he refuses to believe me, his son (my ex) or anyone else. I even have it written down. He has got it in his head I am trying to screw him out of money, and was getting mighty upset about it.
How do you deal with someone like this, other than not doing any work for them anymore?
UPDATE:
He found out he was wrong and sort of apologized. Not to me of course. But just in general.
He had written it down on every check he had ever written me the amount paid, the hours, and the hourly wage. Surprised he didn't accuse me of forging the checks.
What a dork.
