Taking the piss

By Anonymous - 16/06/2024 08:00 - United Kingdom

Today, my boss refused to increase my wages to the new minimum wage of £12 an hour. He says the quality of my work isn’t worth £12 and if I wanted a raise, he’d see me in employment tribunal. My boss is my dad, it’s a family business. I do 90% of the work while he sits at the bar drinking for free. FML

So....the business would fail without you. Sounds like you have the upper hand. Maybe you should be asking for £15 an hour (as you do most of the work) and go on strike and don't work until it's paid (and agreed in writing). Or Take him to a tribunal for theft of wages and go on strike. He needs you. But you don't need him. You could find a new job elsewhere.

I'd tell him "see you at the tribunal" and report his ass.

Get a new job and tell him to go **** himself when he starts throwing a tantrum about having to actually work. You can take him to tribunal for refusing to pay minimum wage but it being your Dad? Might be a bit awkward after. Have you tried complaining to your mum/his wife? It's her income he's risking with all this...

I'd advise you to find a new job, sounds like a bad work environment.
