Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How would you handle this "wage owed" to you situation

My wife works for a Dr and that Dr's wife handles the business of his practice. There seems to be issues quite frequently when it comes to pay, benefits, or reimbursement. I warned my wife when she took the job that I've never had good luck in the employment situations where the husband has the wife running the books. I'm not sure why but I've seen a lot of issues with those types of arrangements. I don't know if it's just communication problems or what. Usually in that situation the husband is either beta or just not organized enough to manage his own business. So, he's either telling his wife one thing and his employees another to keep some perception of peace or he's just unorganized and doesn't take others issues serious. Either way the best way is often to communicate with the wife directly or to get them both together at the same time.

Basically the old "good cop/bad cop" act or a wife actively undermining the husband's decisions.

I would tell them for 2k now, let's call it good.
You let the situation ride without correcting it, so bear half of the fault.

I have received a substantial raise since that time period, but those back wages have still not been made right.

I sure figured Ringman would have weighed in by now on this.

I think he worked for months for a company without getting paid...
