Has Your Job Ever Shorted You On Pay?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

So technically, get paid on Fridays but usually get payroll email on Wednesday, money usually there by Thursday. This Wednesday my email showed pay for 24 hours, even though worked 40... TF... And then when brought it to their attention, she told me it might take awhile, I might have to wait for them to straighten it out... OH NO, FUCK THAT... I can't say that with my mortgage or bill companies.. Told her since payday technically isn't till Friday, they had till Friday to correct it and pay me for all the hours I worked, or I wouldn't be there Monday. Just checked and it's there... Don't play with people's pay!

Oh, yes. The big name spa at which I worked out-and-out lied about our pay from the get go. Then later, when one of the nail techs got MORE than she was supposed to, the spa wouldn't let her keep the overage as compensation for her underpayment, and fired her for keeping that as compensation for the double-talk about pay in the first place.

One of my tasks when I was at a telecom company was doing the data entry for any payroll "exceptions", eg, putting in sick codes, PTO codes (paid time off), etc. to keep this sort of problem to a minimum, and I reported to a Payroll Manager at the HQ. As it happened, there were two new hires who were NOT getting paid. I found that these two employees- hired within a particular timeframe- and ONLY these two- had a particular letter arrangement in their names. I asked my PayrollManager if that could be the problem. She said that if was anyone other than me, she wouldn't have believed it, but knowing that I was always very thorough, she had the programmers check this out. Well, it turned out that there WAS some screwy, microscopic little glitch in the software that bounced anyone- hired within a certain timeframe- AND who had this particular letter combination in their nam- out of the payroll loop. She couldn't believe it!

Programmers had patched the program for some other reason and messed up this module in the process. Don' 'cha just looooove "progress"?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yeah technology sooo great

* oops - - in their namE - - -

[Jaximus-Lion]

At my current job it happened twice when i started, i called the economy HQ and their excuse was : you are new, our info and payments depending on which bank you have blah blah blah. Thankfuly i am a member with a union so ot took less than a day and i got the rest of the money. The second time they forgot almost half of my monthly salary, one call and it took them a whole week, i was mad AF. Now! I have a friend who is a lawyer and the next time they do a "mistake" my friend will make sire the company pays a penalty fee (3,8%) of my salary, it's a little amount but there hasn't been any mistakes dor the last 3 years 🤷‍♂️

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Well that's good it's not happening anymore

[douride2]

Yes it happened more the once at my present job. Good thing I keep meticulous records. It took a couple of days but I got all my pay. Well except for this last fiasco in June. I think I may have to get the labor board involved after all.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I definitely would

[ariadneR]

Yes. They forgot to pay me my vacay pay which they promised. But they were gonna add it to my paycheck. I said he'll no, cause I'm not paying mortal than needed. Sorry sir.

[ariadneR]

One time they paid my coworker someone else's pay. So she had to go to the bank get a bank draft and pay thwm back. For her to get her check it would take 6 business days. She said he'll no. It was your fuck up

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right! She was going to tell me it was going to take a while to straighten out.. hmm funny tho, when said if wasn't there by Friday, won't see me at work Monday, it was there.

[exitseven]

Yes, I worked for a company that installed computers in department stores and banks. A lot of times we worked at night. The store managers would lock us in the stores at night. If you worked nights you were supposed to get a night differential. One of the owners was always trying to shortchange me. Hs would "forget" to give me the night differential. He hoped I would not notice..
After he did it to me three or four times I told him if it happened again I was quitting. So the very next week he does it again so I go into his office and told him I quit. He was all apologies and asked me to stay. I was sick of the job by then anyway so I told him to forget it.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Don't blame you!! You don't fuck with people's pay!!

[TonyMetal___86]

Pay the sasquatch feet or she will hit you all with her snow shovel 🤣🤣

Well usually i get paid on time every month miss brains muffins since i work in the government but when sometimes when i work in my other profession in my free time, i get paid directly, fix the machine and get paid CASH 😎💵 but if the customer wasn't able to pay directly, i can wait for a day or 2...

If i had a housewife, she will be free from financial stress cause she won't be working but STILL HAVE TO PAY ME, instead of money she will pay me MUFFINS and delicious meals and ofc 1,000,000 kisses, 999,000 of the kisses must be french kisses and ofc i accept other kinky services, no problem! If she makes the king fullfilled and happy than i'll be her driver for 1 week 😂😂 🚕💨

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣

[molonski2]

Yep , you know what over the years I've been underpaid and overpaid , in fairness when legitimately underpaid , they always fixed it. The problem is , you tend to be underpaid in life when you are struggling for every $1 .
Overpaid , and you say " Hmmm nice.. Yo sure this ones correct " ?

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Ha funny you say overpaid, cuz now think there's $20 extra, but without pay stub, not sure, that could be overtime.. They corrected the pay but didn't get corrected pussy stub yet

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

*pay omg🤦 lololol

[molonski2]

Honestly , I got overpaid , so many times ( more than under ) and you kinda dont like to ask.. lol
Got paid for one block of land 3 times once , bcoz their system didn't work properly ( 3 different buyers ) .. Oh well , if they all had of been like that lol lol

[Redstang88]

Yeah I’ve had a few employers jerk me around on my paycheck, doesn’t go over well.
Had one guy try stalling on reimbursing me for a bunch of expenses I put on my card while he was away, parked my ass at his desk and said I wasn’t leaving without the money in my hand. Got it 👍

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Yep, gotta be that way!!! Happened another time when worked for government agency and they Shorted me $3-400.. Tried telling me had to wait till next pay period.. "Uhh nope, you got the 30 minutes it'll take me to drive to the office to collect my check to cut that check" and yeah, I got it👍👍

[Fuentes]

Years ago i had a job that did i raised hell i worked 16 hours for 3 days straight i was expecting the money i raised hell and emailed the whole chain from top manager to all of HR and i got it fixed finally then they did it again months later and i quit. One thing you don't do is play with my money but thar was the only job that did that and i still receive settlement checks from them always being sued lol

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

I agree💯I can play but not when it comes to my pay.. It happens again, I'm gone.. They did have it there this morning, cuz I straight up told her wouldn't be here Monday if it wasn't

[Lliam]

Wow. I'm glad they fixed it, bbb. It's a good thing they did. I hate to think of the shit storm consequences of fucking with a fierce, brainygirl who is in the right. LOL

Fortunately, that never happened to me.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's good.. Happened once before when worked for a government agency... They Shorted me like$3-400, tried telling me I'd have to wait till next pay period, again F that. They cut me check for the rest same day

[jamesgoldman]

Never happens with self-employment... my only risk is the market dropping between my gold (generally gold, silver is too bulky to post and I've had very little in the PGM range) leaving me and meeting is firey end in the refinery furnace... last few times it's gone up in that time frame

[AndrewMG]

Oh 100% especially around overtime worked, it's made me very cynical when it comes to making sure I've been paid the right amount... I mean technically they over paid me by 9 hours last month and I kept my mouth shut but hey it's the fact I don't play by my own rules that makes me so fascinating lol

[TommyMountainFigure]

A few times. It's one of the many reasons I choose to go self employed.. I never have a problem paying me what I'm owed any longer. :D

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

👍 lolol

[Bricealan]

No, never. Maybe overpaid me sometimes during the pandemic, we were there but did not do much, due to the closures. I felt guilty getting full pay.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's something a lot of p wouldn't say.. Seems like people I work with want more, to work less🙄

[Bricealan]

The state wanted us there, and said we were 'essential' since people have to drive and keep their registration/ drivers license current. I read a number of books, put together puzzles etc. We had quizzes about dept. policy, procedure etc. also. The manager even organized a car wash one day.

[Crazybeeguy]

Yeah, and I don't let them try shit.
Don't fuck with my money.
👿👿

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right!!

[JennBITx]

Yeah. It took a ton of emails and calls to get the money back. I lost a ton of overtime and holiday pay during my transition to sup.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

That's fucked up... I got mine cuz think they knew meant it bout not being here if didn't get paid

[JennBITx]

It took a couple of woods to get it back

[Lynx122]

No I've ad only good experiences on that front so far ^^

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Glad to hear that😊

[Slartybartfast]

Yes, indicon inc illegally withheld all my overtime pay.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Did you ever get it?

[Slartybartfast]

No, but I took the software I wrote (on my own time ) that we used to do the project with me. A couple weeks later they closed the local offices as they had lost the contract worth tens of millions a year because I left.

[Bluemax]

Once when I worked for Tower Records they delayed my pay by a few days because the company changed payroll services. For me, it was no big deal. For others it was a big deal.

[legalboxers]

@Bluemax for a moment I thought you wrote empire records...

[Gwenhwyfar]

This has never happened to me but you did the right thing

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Right! But damn, now gotta work Monday lol the one chick I help a lot at work was more nervous than me, cuz told her not only wouldn't I be there Monday, I'd be spending Monday looking for new job and she don't want me to leave... I should fuck with her and tell her didn't get it😂 get her back for always creeping up on me and startling me lolol or the day she said my name, when looked over, she pulled her mask down and a weenie popped out of her mouth🤣🤣🤣 it was a Vienna sausage.. But so unexpected, I laughed till I cried🤣

[Gwenhwyfar]

Omg 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Wait but then she told me when we took drive for lunch that she afraid to give BJ's... And how to do them... "Like how you had that other weenie in your mouth"🤣🤣🤣

[Gwenhwyfar]

Hahahahaha

Should have offered to demonstrate on her sausage 🤣. (Or a banana 😊.)

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

🤣🤣🤣

[rcljr]

listverse.com/.../ You go right on ahead and trust the government… I will trust my body to build immunity when I catch the Wu Flu that has a 99% recovery rate.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Ummm did you reply on wrong question? This was about paychecks from your employer

[rcljr]

Probably, the app was awful twitchy this morning, I wondered where it went.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

It's all good lol

[MTC29]

On a few occasions.

When I first hired on, the old woman who ran the payroll department had been there since the Truman administration (I'm not kidding). Customer service, never mind professional courtesy, was not a hallmark. Going to the payroll department was much like taking a trip to the dentist: not something to look forward to.

I was happy when the old gal finally retired. Payroll errors also sharply declined after she left.

[andreasderjuengere]

Two guys had done it to me before.
Both are dead now.
:D
Which wasn't my own doing of course; one was cancer, the other had some heart attack or so.
But life sometimes gives us justice, heh heh.

[FilmGuy93]

I'm sure they have. I've always made my money through the stock market and such though, so I never worried too much about the dollar amount of my paycheck. I was working for health care benefits and such.
