Anyone who has been following me and/or allowing me to complain about my situation with my former employer over pay knows that this issue has been a rather inconveniencing one. This particular problem, thankfully, has been mostly rectified (they still owe me a couple thousand dollars, but "the check is in the mail" so I guess I am all good.
This post is not about that pay problem, however. My present job had a SNAFU with my pay as well. They quickly fixed the problem, so it caused minimal hardship, but it is yet another interesting example of how my life, no matter how mundane, can never seem to be boring.
On Thursday, a number of people received their pay stubs. I didn't get one, so I figured that they may hold back a check like some of my previous positions had done. The actual payday was Friday, but I did not go into work on Friday, so I had to wait until Monday to ask about it. It turned out that I also received a statement, though it came on Friday, the normal day for such a thing to occur.
I was advised to open it to make sure it was correct. I did so, and what I found was quite interesting. Under pay rate it had my correct wage. Under hours worked it had the correct number of hours: 30. Under gross pay: $0.00!
While my math skills are not the best, I was pretty sure something was wrong here. I took it to my supervisor who then sent it to payroll. It took a day or two for them to issue a new check. Now, if my former employer was on the ball this much, it would make me very happy indeed!
