Im a in home caregiver for a disabled veteran. Per the contract/ agreement I am not responsible for any overhead/utilities or to use any of my salary and or EBT towards the household!! Why is his fiduciary expecting.... well telling me I'm responsible to pay the water bill and I will not receive any salary for 2 months. She also mentioned a month ago that I am not putting in enough money towards the household food budget??
It is ridiculous for anyone to suggest that you pay a utility bill of your client.
You should be responsible for your OWN food and not eating the food of your client no should you be responsible for your client's food.
I think you need to quit this job. You are not being paid. Generally people do not work without pay.
If you are going to make a living this way, you need to learn to standbup for yourself. First you have a contract that someone agreed to when u were hired. The first week you did not get paid, the labor board should have been called. Told there was a contract in place and you have not been given your wages.
So I'm confused about who the water bill goes to. And who is saying you are responsible.
Is your client in an apartment and maybe your names on the lease.
Also, if this is 6 weeks of pay , that's a lot of water, who was not paying the water bill?.
If you are employed through an agency, please let them know what is happening. Since you have a contract, please contact the person who created this contract and let them know what is going on. That they are holding this water bill over your head and refusing to pay you.
If you are working a private case, you should never have been held responsible for water bills or other utilities. You are a worker in someone's home and not a renter. This woman who is a fiduciary has twisted some protocol in keeping your job separate from your living condition. It sounds like a way to prevent paying you a salary.
It doesn't sound like you are in the US.
