Why am I doing my co-worker's job and not getting paid for it?

It is happening because you are allowing it to happen. Not meaning to be insulting here, but I think that's the reason.\n\nTell your supervisor that this is happening, and tell them how it is adversely affecting your job performance, and therefore how they are perceived. Tell them that not only is this not fair to you, but it is costing the company business and/or money. They have a **RESPONSIBILITY** both to you and the business to make sure that things are done in the best possible way.\n\nIf things still do not change, and you feel that you are not being unreasonable (not saying you are), then it is time to start looking elsewhere. It is hard enough to do your own job well, let alone somebody else's as well.\n\nI wish you the best of luck!

If there is no explaination, reasonable enough (you ought to look at yourself and your work thru the eyes of your employer), try to get a new job.\n\nFirst of all you must have an employment contract or an understanding therein your terms of employment will be mentioned.\n\nGo through them and ensure that you honestly evaluate each of your duties and understand clearly the requirement.\n\nIn case you conclude that you have done your bit truthfully, then look into the matter of raises and rewards as per your employment policy. In case that document has clear indication of how the reward and increment will follow and you come to know that you are not due yet then stay calm and wait your turn.\n\nIf all is ok on your side and yet you feel that there is no definite answer as to why you have not received a raise while everyone else has, file redressal and get an audience with the management. Get your point across and listen to what they have to say.\n\nIf all else fails, like I mentioned in the begining, you should already have an option or two ready to fly to.

Why don't you ask your local payroll office.  There should be a number on your pay slip.

If you are doing your job right then its nothing this co-workers can do... you forget about what is around you and go do there wht you are getting paid to do. no confrontations do not get in to arguments with them always keep your fellings about them to your self and stay within a managers eye so he can see that you are doing your job and that is them with the problem,you go to work and just work if you keep focus totally on your job there is not going to be time for anything else and the managers and the boss are bound to notice that. keep away from  everyone and mind your job....good luck.

you have a valid claim, if your asked to go above and beyond your hired duties you should be rewarded (especially if your in a lower position, making less)\nMy suggestion to you is to list all your hired duties as well as another list with your added duties as this person has been out.\nSit with your manager/supervisor and state your case. As an owner of  a business myself i have over looked the work of employees who took on more than they were hired for. When my now assistant showed me what we hired her for and what she has been doing I was then able ot see her value and I gave her a raise. She continued to go above and beyond her call of duty and she is now my assistant making a good salary and has the potential to own shares of my company as in another 3 months i will offer her that opportunity. \nYou may not be compensated right away but make your boss aware of your extra duties and continue to do them as it only betters you as a person

I feel your pain.  My resolution?  I tell the individual that I am too busy and he has to do it himself.  I don't do his work anymore.  When my supervisor complains; I tell him "not my job".  Good luck with that one.

I am at work. Doing nothing. I get paid 17.50 an hour and I'm sitting here at yahoo answers. Very productive

Talk to your boss about it first, maybe it was just a mistake, but as the employer they have to pay you when you should be paid or at least give you an advance, as far as I know anyways, talk to your local labor board about it or check online for the laws if anything.

We both know what your boss is doing is wrong.  But, to correct the wrong, you'll have to take risks.  I know it's not fair, but we don't live in a perfect world.\n\nWith that said....\n\nIf he is accusing you of taking money from him and actually deducting it from your paycheck, and you didn't do it, then he is accusing you of crime you didn't commit and punishing you for it.  You can turn around and sue him for it, or report him to the folks at the labor department.  \n\nBut, doing that will or even mentioning it will automatically get you fired.  The sad truth is, to protect yourself, you need to take risks you can't take and you'll need the money to do it which you don't have.\n\nBottom line is, you can't bargain or argue with anyone unless you are willing to take the ultimate sacrifice.  He knows you can't and won't do it.\n\nMy suggestion to you is this.  Since you are working for minimum wage, and if you are willing to work, the jobs are plentiful, I would suggest start looking for a new job.  Once you find it (not before), leave this job, then report him.\n\nYou are correct that he will not help you come up with the money.  He's just taking advantage of you and your weak position.

You could go to your immediate superior or to human resources and ask them if you can get some more help in your department.  \n\nI'd not accuse this co-worker as that would reflect badly on you as well.   I'm sure they'd be more likely to get a temp or some more help if you tell them that the workload would run more streamlined and the work get done in a more timely manner.

Sounds like your co-worker is jelous of all the extra attention you've been getting from your boss because you're more qualified than she is. It looks like you have a few options you could talk to your boss about the issue and ask if there's any way you two could be split up as it's affecting both your work ethics negatively. You could approach your co-worker and explain that you're not trying to step on her toes you're just doing your best to help out your boss and it has nothing to do with her personally. If none of those work I guess your best option would be the other job. I know if this was my problem though I wouldn't let someone else make me leave a job I loved I'd do my best to work through it by being open and honest with the other parties involved.

Sounds to me like the worker has been turned into a de facto non-worker. I guess the 'stop field working' notice amounted to a 'we aren't paying' notice, and now the worker is on indefinite leave without pay.

Unfortunately this is common.  You should not be getting less pay, but it is pretty likely that you will have to work harder.  Try to stick it out for a while, and if you do not get a raise, start looking for somewhere else where you can put your experience to use and get a raise.

Tell him to put it in writing and then tell him to prove it.  Take it to the Labor Board or call them.  Don't take this lightly...make him prove it or accuse you formally.  A lawyer should be involved if he does this.  \nI was a supermarket cashier years ago and everyday the bookkeeper would tape the amount the register was short from the previous day on all 8 registers.  The amounts were all ove 200.00 and we were appalled.  There was a supervisor/floor manager and a few of his friends who handled the money as well, collecting money every few hours for the front office.  Turns out no body was every charged but these guys used to hit the race track every weekend. So you have to wonder....It made us all very uncomfortable.

If you have a paycheck which is supposed to be for (say) Sept.01 - Sept.15, and it's for (say) 60hrs when you really worked 80 hrs, then you say that the last 20hrs you worked were unpaid.\n\nEven better -- show a list of all the hours you were paid for (say) 3months, and all the hours you worked for 3months.  Attach this to the form, and on the form itself just write "85 unpaid hours -- see attached".

Your job will be finished for the summer, so you have fulfilled your agreement with your employer. Your co-worker has plenty of time to find someone else. You couldn't possibly agree to  work, and your boss couldn't possibly expect you to. Tell him what is happening - this is something special. If your boss is insensitive enough to threaten to fire you, look for another job when your brother leaves. Have a great time with your brother, and feel no guilt.
