<prompt> Human: I apologize if this is the wrong sub for this, I had no idea where else to go and get help. If you have anywhere else I could look into please let me know! Okay so I work at a small restaurant in a very tourist part of the city, where we use a computer generated login badge number to clock in and out of the system. Last Wednesday the computer would no longer let me log in to be able to clock in and out of work. I asked my employer and he said he had no idea and to just fill out a missed punch form indicating what time I arrived and left my job. Now, it has been 4 days in which one I completed 16 hours of work, and I finally asked another manager and he said I was not in the system I have been filling out these forms, but it is not guaranteed I will get paid for the work I have been doing on the corresponding check, which is quite important as I have bills to pay like any other regular person. Now the manager I talked to today said to just keep filling the forms out but until Im back in the system its as if Im not there at all What are my options at this point? Assistant: Youre a little unclear. Were you fired, or is this just a technical error with the system? Have you missed a pay check? Im really confused, especially because if you think you got fired, why are you still working?Oh, and this goes without saying, but if they try to screw you out of the time you worked you need to fight back.Human: Basically someone is officially fired once they are deleted off of the system. So one of the managers deleted me off of the system but they refuse to let me go. I even asked today if until they fix the problem I can have a few days off and they refused  <response>: Okay, but now youre still not making sense. If you being deleted from the system they dont talk to you or anything? indicates being fired, why are you still working there? Either youre not fired and you should still be working and demanding you be paid if they didnt pay you, or youre fired and you shouldnt be showing up to work. So which is it?Edit: Im rereading your original post and comment, and it sounds like youre saying you were deleted from the system by error, but werent actually fired and are still working and filling out the forms.How are you currently paid? Do you normally receive a checkdirect deposit? If so, you need to ask your manager if youll be paid the full amount the next pay cycle. If not, you need to ask them how theyre going to get you your compensation in a timely manner.Basically, if its just a dumb computer error that theyre too incompetent to solve, but theyre paying you what they should be, then its not a huge deal. But if they try to get out of paying you delay your payment significantly, youre going to have to escalate the situation.
