<prompt> Human: I have recently received employment in a job which I would say I am by far, not inexperienced. After the first day of work I told my boss I wanted to speak to him regarding the job pay as I didnt want to continue work without knowing. Anyways I am currently working with another new worker but he is experienced by age and qualifications. Hes been working there a few days more then I am so he knows as much as I do regarding pay as I like to think so but highly doubt it. The boss and he had a talk about me getting paid by this guy.This guy now will be paying me directly. No problem...then amid negotiation he offers a rate that is well below what the employer advistised. Even for a complete inexperienced person. We negotiate a bit more but he keeps running run the bush by stating he doesnt even know the pay structure yet. Which brings me to ask how did he come up with that offer.I am thinking of speaking to the boss and telling him about the what was offered to me and the promised starting rate. I do believe my pay will rise after a while and do seek to continue working for this company.How would I go on talking to the boss and asking for what was offered as a starting base. I am new 4days and all I see is that it might bring hostility and show arrogance maybe Because of age??.UPDATEI spoke to my boss and we agreed upon the original rate offered. Thats 50 more from what was a shitty attempt of low balling. I think they thought I was naive because of my age and the nature of this industry. Anyways, upon negotiating, the boss showed geniune appreciation because the good work Ive done. He thought it would take me a while to pick up pace. He mentioned promoting me by sending me to my own sites and have a team to work with. I agreed thats my intention as well and asked for a bit more time to gain confidence. I am happy with the pay and looking at running my own sites in about 2 months. Assistant: Wait, what? Youre not getting paid? Who exactly are you working for, a company or some person whos been working the job for a few days? Your post is very unclear.Human: My bad. Hopefully this comment clears this. I am working for a subcontractor company and the first payment will be a fortnight after commencement of work and currently I am on my 4th day. The company sends jobs to all employees of which mostly work in teams. I work in a team of two and the person I am working with is the person whom, I somehow negotiated my pay with instead of the person who hired me. I believe the employer who hired me agreed for me to get paid from my college to make it easier for them as they are a starting company and still trying to manage the workload.  <response>: I believe the employer who hired me agreed for me to get paid from my college What do you mean? Are you saying your employer doesnt want to pay you and wants another entity to pay you? I dont think thats how it works
