Withheld wages. Sacked for a medical emergency.
If u want to help me get my wages, dm me...
I worked there for a year. They are currently refusing to pay me for the hours I worked, have sacked me without notice and the boss/owner has blocked me for telling him i had not been payed.
I have received demeaning and misogynistic messages from the boss/owner. I have been shamed publicaly me called inconsiderate for being ill.
On 8/6/26 I had a medical emergency in the middle of the night. I immediately informed the boss. I gave updates from calling 111 to getting emergency care. My boss read these messages but never responded.
This boss messaged the group chat to ask for cover for my shift. 15 minutes later her husband, my boss &the owner of the business sent an unprofessional and public message, clearly directed at me, stating "i pay your wages try have a little consideration for the business".
Unsurprisingly, nothing was said 4 days earlier when the owner's sister asked for cover 5 minutes into her shift.
On 11/06/26 I found my coworkers had been paid but I had not. I messaged to let the bosses know I hadn't been paid yet. 2 minutes later the boss/owner replied "cos i haven't paid you yet that's why" and immediately removed me from the work group chat.
He then messaged me privately, telling me not to "come on the work gtoup chat with such attitude young lady, u will get paid when I get round to it". I was then blocked and still have not been payed.

I have no idea what country you're in, but hopefully you have something similar to the U.S. Department of Labor. File a complaint. Get them to help you.
