i'm a bit concerned
i've got a temporary job at oxfam, starting from tomorrow, and i've got a feeling they think i'm volunteering. i wouldn't mind, but it's 9-5 full time work,
how do i ask if i'm getting paid without sounding like i'm a horrible person?!

Ask them what day of the week your pay goes in.

ask them what employment details they need from you
(NI number/BACS details etc) - if they refuse them, work there for one week & then quit (looks OK on your CV)

walk in and give them you bank details
so they can pay you by BACS.

The look on their faces should give you a clue

Um I'm not sure you can. I doubt you will get paid.
Only the chuggers and directors get paid. Oh, and the warlords who won't let them enter the country without a nice suitcase of cash.

i'm not working in a shop though,
working in one of the offices

Ah, you might be ok then
I'd imagine they would tell you pretty soon, or ask for your bank details.

Photocopy your arse,
and post it around the office - Write "*your name*'s arse, by *your name*", and sign it.

If you're being paid, you'll get fired.

If you don't get fired, just leave.

Offer your bank details
If they don't take them - steal from the till.

If you're lucky you might be able to earn up to £20ph until they find you out!
