My husband recently quit his job to start working for me. I own a company employing around 30 people so this wasn’t a big deal, the work load is there and he has the skill set.
We agreed that he’d be making hourly same as he was as his old job. Which is already $10 more than anyone else in the same work position but since he uses his money to spend on me and the kids I didn’t mind as it’s kind of coming out of my pocket and into my other pocket in a way.
Well this is his third month of work. The first two months he did pretty good. This month he basically is working half the amount of hours he’s supposed to and it’s not like he’s discreet about it, for example this week he should up to the office two days out of the five days he was supposed to be working.
He gets paid biweekly, first two weeks of September when he slacked off he made $600 less than he was meant to if he did all his hours. and he basically made this huge deal about how that is a lot of money and how can he pay his bills so I paid him the extra $600.
Well month end payment will probably be between $1100-$1300 since he is not bothering to even show up to work.
I don’t know what to do. I mean this is money that would be going towards my family and children but if I pay it to him I’m also paying someone else for the same work that he slacked off on.
I also don’t want to contribute to our every day life more than him if he’s making less because I simply don’t think it’s fair and don’t want to be anyone’s sugar mommy.
I’m just in a tight spot if I don’t know whether to pay him the difference again or to just let him moan and learn his lesson that if he won’t show up to work he will make less.
