missing paycheck, employer refusing to speak with parent of minor
My daughter (17) is working her 1st full-time job for the summer.
He first paycheck was not cut (along with several other people) She has since received 2 other paychecks but the 1st one is still missing.
She asks her manager every day, is is told things like ''it will be here on wed'' or ''it will be here with the next payroll'' etc. (I find it hard to believe that he cannot call the payroll department and explain the error and have had it corrected in a more timely manner.)
She still does not have it, almost 4 weeks later and is understandably upset.
I called her Manager this morning, and politely asked what the problem was. He said ''It will be here tomorrow'' and also said that in the future, he will refuse to speak with me and only speak with my daughter.
I reminded him that she is a minor and I have her permission to call on her behalf.
His comment was '' We'll I guess we both work under a different set of rules'' and hung up on me. I am, of course, FURIOUS at this man.
My questions are
1. can an employer rufuse to speak to me about my minor child?
2. Is there a legal limit on how long a payroll error must be corrected?
