I’m having trouble with my principal not accepting my exam form for May 25. Let me explain the situation. When I joined the firm, my principal promised that I would receive 20% of the revenue from the parties I managed. He had me open a new bank account where all the revenue would be deposited.
After 2.5 years of service, as I was preparing to go on exam leave, I completed the accounts and gave him his agreed-upon share (80%). However, now he has had someone review my bank statement and is asking for more money.
To complicate matters, my father has been hospitalized for the past eight days, leaving me with very little time to study. When I reached out to my principal to get approval for my exam form, he insisted that I need to come in and give him a cheque first. I explained my situation, but he still refuses to approve the form.
He asked me to visit the office to verify the accounts reviewed by the other person and then provide the cheque. I told him I would come tomorrow (March 10), but now he wants me to come in on Wednesday (March 12). Today is already the 9th, and I’m worried about how long it will take for him to approve my exam form.
What if my accounts are indeed correct, but he still refuses and demands more money without approving my form? I really need some advice; these past 8-9 days have been incredibly stressful.

I’m really sorry to hear about the difficult situation you’re facing, especially with your father’s health also being a concern. It sounds like you’re dealing with a lot right now, and it’s understandable to feel overwhelmed.
Regarding the approval of your exam form, it’s essential to check the policies of your educational institution or governing body that oversees the exam process. They often have specific timelines for submission and approval, and it may be possible to appeal for an extension or request assistance given your circumstances.
In your communication with your principal, it might help to reiterate your situation—both your father’s hospitalization and your need to focus on your studies. If discussing in person isn’t feasible or if he continues to refuse, consider formalizing your request in writing. You might also mention the timeline for the exam form submission to emphasize urgency.
If your principal remains uncooperative and you believe your accounts are accurate, it may be worthwhile to seek guidance from a higher authority within your organization or the educational institution. Additionally, documenting all communications can be beneficial should you need to escalate the issue.
Remember that your health and peace of mind are important, too. Try to take breaks and seek support from friends or family during this stressful time. Good luck, and I hope things resolve quickly for you and your father.
