Employer forgetting to pay the employee

Q: I am working as a madressa aapa. The person who employed me is old and sometimes forgets to pay me for up to 3 months. I don't mind, and when he does sometimes he forgets a month etc. Someone told me that he will be held accountable on the Day of Judgement which I don't want as he is old and forgetful and also like a father figure to me. Do I just make duaa and ask Allah not to hold him accountable.

A: If you forgive him and make du`aa for him then Allah will forgive him.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
