it was $2/hr less so it was $13/hr. what is the best way to approach the boss about this. i've had so many complaints about this job and it's stressing me out to where i'm losing some sleep at night. i am looking for something else in the meantime. also, i was lied to about the job description, but whatever. this is a very small business. so she is as high as it can go.

The first two answers seem to be from the UK. Either that or some very liberal (or progressive depending on your point of view) US states.
You have made an astute observation - this is a small business and any money in your pocket comes out of the owner's. I know that is true of every business, but in the corporate world, hiring managers are spending other people's money. Anyway, the point is that you run the risk of building resentment with the person who personally signs your paycheck. What are the chances of you finding a job quickly? If they are reasonable, you might want to just wait and go peaceably. If not, perhaps you could ask, in a non-threatening way, if you could just clarify your compensation package. If you do that, wait until neither of you are rushed and ask if it is OK to speak with her. The point about neither of you being rushed is that you really want to nail this in one conversation. It is not a good idea to let her think about it. So give her little opportunity to walk away without giving you an answer.
Do not discount the possibility that it was a clerical error!

Well I hate to say this but they playing you. First off OPERATORS get $15.00 an hour. BUT you said they changed the job discription on you Or that you were lied to. They most likely are paying the operators $15.00 an hour, but since the job you're doing has another job description they most likely will say you are NOT doing the operators job. Sorry. But I have been in a similar position. I did go right up to the boss. He did NOT have an answer and I walked on the spot. I went back the following week and got my last pay check. To this day I do NOT regret having left the way I did. Good Luck.

Totally your fault.There is no room for assumption or courtesy when it comes to business.That is a fact of life.You should have, and in the future,discuss these things without shame or fear.They are the very reason you go to work,no?Wages?
Unless they promised you something in writing all you can do is ask and receive whatever they are willing to give.
But,I do have good news!!This is a learning experience.Next time you won't be leaving yourself so open.I would hope that next time you will have the cojones to stand up and ask what needs to be asked.If you get taken again,well,"fool me once....".

You signed an employment contract. Your wage should be clearly stated in that contract. If there's a discrepancy between that and your paycheck, talk to your boss or your accounting department.
