'I was never paid': Employee quits after one week, ex-boss refuses to pay despite having submitted a W4 form

Must have been a really rough week! This Redditor worked at a plastic surgeon's office and only lasted one week after being underpaid and tasked with ridiculous duties. She also mentioned that her boss frequently told the women in the office that they themselves needed surgery. Disgusting!

 

So, power to her! She quit, but it didn't stop there. Despite having filled out a W4 form, she was never paid for that week of work. Even after filing a complaint with the Department of Labor, they told her that the part of the form that the employer should have filled out was never completed. Furthermore, her ex-boss even went so far as to claim that the Redditor was merely "job shadowing" for that week. With no other proof of her time there, she feels pretty much at a complete loss. Keep scrolling below to see the recommendation that folks gave to her in the comments section.
