Dear Queenie,
A friend of my family hired me as a receptionist in his office 2 days a week and he pays me in cash. Things were good at first, but then he started kissing me and groping me when no one else was around and even suggesting we have sex.
I haven’t said anything to him or anyone else for fear of losing the job or having him make it official with the tax department.
Queenie, how do I get him to stop harassing me?—Part-time employee
Dear Part-timer,
It is not likely that your boss will make your job official with the tax department because he also has been evading tax and employment regulations. However, both of you could be in trouble if the authorities ever find out about it.
I suggest you quit before that happens, and find another (honest) job if you need the money. Then you can file a harassment complaint against him, but be aware that if you do, the questionable circumstances of your employment are likely to become known to the authorities you both have been avoiding.
I will not go into the moral aspects of what you and your boss have been (not) doing in relation to your employment.
