The thing is, I haven't been directly ordered to do anything.if they are expecting you to do something for the clinic, they are required to pay you for that time. Or they can wait and handle it themselves. this kind of thing is why we have lawyers that specialize in employment laws
It was my offer and my choice to drop off the medication. I do not expect remuneration for that, since it had nothing to do with my job at the clinic.
I dropped by to bring in the medication the client had given me, to prove that I had actually gone there and given it to them. Well I was there, it just made sense for me to call the owner since they would have a much harder time bsing me directly. Went directly to voicemail, so I left a message and stayed for another 30 minutes to see if they would call back. Mainly because I want this dealt with ASAP so I'm not dealing with it all week over texts with my coworkers since I don't work again until the weekend. Could I have in theory just left it for my coworkers to deal with? Yes. However that would have made the situation more messy, since I was the only one working that day and the only one who knew exactly what happened. It would have taken longer to deal with, been messier, and would have caused some friction between my coworkers and I because they would have been grumpy about having to try and fix a situation they didn't know much about.
Again, no one ordered me to stay, so I really can't go demanding pay. I just wanted the situation dealt with, and the easiest way was just to do it myself. I'm just grumpy that my moral obligation to do that took time away from my study time.
(Never heard back from the owner so I'll probably be dealing with this all week anyway)
