    Boss withholding money

    So last week I quit my club, nothing big or dramatic but when I asked for money they withheld from the week before I was told the boss had taken it. So I emailed him asking for it and he says that if I want it I have to go back and work for them again. Now I don't want to make a big deal out of this, it's only $60 but should I let him just keep my money or try to get it from him without working there again? It does piss me off that he's trying to pull that bs on me.

    Also when I had quit I told the manager that I might come back some day, the club wasn't horrible or anything. Then I get the boss trying to make me come back asap and holding my money that I earned over my head. Ugh, I just don't know if I should let it go or not.

    -- Dunno how things work on yr side of the continent, but this sounds like a job for small claims court to me. . .

    Of course you'd have to go "public" w/ yr situation, profession, etc. -- but you'd expose *him* as well. . .

    As fun as it'd be to watch him piss himself when the cops showed up, it is only $60...

    That's precisely the point. It's a small amount of money so a cop might be willing to get involved. If it were a large amount I wouldn't advise it but it's worth a shot. You seem wayyy more comfortable with being stolen from than I am so if it's a hassle, eat the loss.

    It's definitely the principle, not the money. This isn't "withholding money" - it's stealing. If you want to just kick back and watch him steal from you then I guess you can, but personally, I can think of a lot of things I'd rather do with my $60. That's a nice dinner out for two, it's my cell phone bill, it's a new outfit, it's two tanks of gas... I wouldn't want to make it a gift to some thieving jackass.

    Usually the threat of a suit is enough. This is what small-claims court is for, and he knows that. If you call him and say something like, "I was wondering when you were going to return my money; I'd hate for us to have to go through all the hassle of going to court," then I bet he buckles. If he doesn't, then small-claims court it is.

    Go back to work at the club, get the money on your first day back, then QUIT. What a scumbag asshole!

    I would get small claims involved or at least the threat of it. It might discourage him from doing it again to other girls.

    I bet this asshole makes a tidy little profit for himself by "withholding" money every time a girl quits his club. I don't lie down for that shit; I'd call the cops or small claims court and THEN see what he has to say. I can't believe girls let this fucker get away with this shit - this is why he does it, because he knows girls will let him!

    I was going to before he decided to be an asshole about the money, but now.. Why give him another chance to screw me over?


    I'm going to take everyones advice on the cops bit, I'll give him one last chance to give me my money before calling them. He really hates/is scared of cops so just the threat of it should work. Hopefully. I hate to make a huge thing outta something so small but it is the principal of it all.
    Heh it's no wonder he only has three girls left now.
