I found out today that I'm not going to get paid for my last three weeks of work!
I have a special veteran's only position where I'm able to do easy work for minimum wage (non-taxable), for a maximum of 25 hours per week. It's only available to veterans attending school, and our main priority is to do our homework and answer the phone and other simple office tasks if we're not busy with our schoolwork.
When I got the job, I was under the impression that I would not be able to work during the three weeks between the Spring semester and the Summer semester. However, as the Spring semester came to an end, my supervisor told me that I would be able to continue working and getting paid during the short vacation. She said that I just had to submit my new information and they would whip me up a new contract, which takes between one and three weeks, and I could just work in the meantime and send them my timesheet later. So of course I did this, and today the fucking main Veteran Affairs office finally responds to me and says that no, I cannot get paid.
I'm not extremely pissed about this - it's easy work and since I wasn't in school at the time, I spent most of the time surfing the internet - but my supervisor basically promised me this money and I need every cent I can get for my wedding in August. We were just talking about how close we are cutting it with our budget, and now we're basically $600 shorter than we were yesterday.
