[QUOTE="WhymeMom?, post: 173435, member: 53"] This is why many large companies have nepotism rules......could NOT be personal in any way, but because you know him, his family and are a part of it....this was the first thing that popped into your mind...frankly it sounds like a good business decision to have a bookkeeping department handle payroll and take it out of the hands of someone who has other responsibilities for running the office. I don't know how large your company is, but having files out where nephew can open and read this stuff would be a little twitchey in my mind. Now on to what you are actually feeling......First, I bet he tried to broach this with you earlier and pave the way. When he asked how you felt, he was probably just feeling you out to see if he thought you would possibly quit over this......then when he decided to do this he wasn't asking, he was telling you.....I don't think it was easy for him, but I do not think it was because he thought you couldn't handle it. It makes sense to have more than one person able to handle payroll and this is a very sensitive area to many---I wouldn't want people knowing what I make financially. Also keeping financial records elsewhere might be better idea. I think you need to decide what you want to do at your job.....if you want to do what you are doing and not handle bookkeeping then I would be asking for other responsibilities to keep me busy. You should probably look around and see where things are lacking and volunteer some ideas or he may not have anything to give you to do. If you want to do the bookkeeping, join that area or find a different job. After you have collected yourself I would have a chat with him about clarifying that your work was up to par and that is your concern.....if he was happy with what you are doing, isn't lowering your pay, asking you to take a cut in hours, then sounds to me he was making a professional business decision.
