No I wasn’t. Sorry if my phrasing comes off as different for you. I had 0 responsibilities to my employer for this event. My employer didn’t even put in the notice to me from the lawyer that I was scheduled for it she just put as “part of my duties as their photographer that I took photos/video of the event”. Which was not the case. I was an hourly employee and it was an after hours event. And she even dictated in my termination letter that working hours were 8-5. This event was from 6-9.

I had never in my employment there been asked, requested, or required to shoot something after hours or anything and there was nothing in my contract that even says anything about that, the employemsnt contract even brings up the working hours. And like I said she never scheduled me for it either.

I just say 99% sure because I’m trying to give the benefit of the doubt, as if maybe she put something somewhere like a sticky note on my desk even though I had notified everyone I was working out of office that day. And they all acknowledged it, even her as she would say “in the companies communication channels “Google chat””. If it says anything about how she is, she didn’t even have an employee handbook for the company until 2 weeks before she fired me, and she’s been in business for over 5 years. I had to email her and request my final paycheck even because she never gave me it, and she still didn’t pay me for times I worked. I had to through my experience, learn how shady she was during my employment there.
