I babysit but didn't get paid because the mom said she was home? Is this right?

Question

I babysit for this couple that work for their business in the evening however they wanted me to babysit until 1:30 am so they could go to a party after work. They came home for an hour so the husband could get ready but the mom took that hour out of my pay because she claims she was home. Is that right? Shouldn't I get paid for the time I am there?

Answer

in my view that is not right - you spent the time in their house because they asked you to do so. they booked your time, you did not have an agreement on the expected output

Answer

You get paid for the hours you are there it makes no difference whatsoever if they are in the house or not. You are paid for your time. She owes you money.
