<prompt> Human: So, I got a job with a cleaning company through a family friend. I work at a different franchise than the one he owns but Im still paid by him, although I receive my checks from the owner of the franchise I work for. To be in honest Im not entirely sure how all of it works, its a bit confusing. It recently came to my attention that after a 3 month probationary period I would get a dollar raise. The owner of the franchise I work for told the family friend that hes been paying me my new hourly rate, even though my checks dont reflect that. I just brought it to his attention, wasnt accusatory, just suggested perhaps there was some miscommunication somewhere down the line. He said I was right and hed look into it. So I was curious if he is required to give me back pay for the three months I havent been being paid my correct rate. Sorry if this is a little confusing and thanks for any help.  <response>: Most places will pay retro pay. I was told by my boss I would get a 1.50 raise on May 25th.My next check rolled around and it wasnt there. I emailed HR. He did some fact checking, took care of it, and retro paid me.
