This shifty manager tried to pull a fast one on their employee in order to cheat them out of their deserved pay. This went on for years before things would right themselves.

The boss often used the employee as a "floater," meaning they were often bumped around to different stores depending on needs and staffing levels. It's never easy being this person because you never have a consistent location or schedule, so it can be hard to build a routine in your personal life. Especially when you consistently have to drive long distances. Usually, such arrangements would call for some kind of travel reimbursement if the employee was traveling in their own vehicle. However, these such arrangements are often costly to companies (compared to running a company fleet vehicle). Still, they don't nearly provide the employee enough to compensate for the wear and tear on their vehicle.

The boss conveniently worked their way around having the employee fill out these forms. So when they finally discovered they were able to they managed to get a payout in a big way.
