I work for a big company and they have been screwing up my pay since I started ten months ago.
It started with the first pay check. They had me at a pay rate much less than I was hired at. It took two month to fix, then they told me I couldn't get back pay for the difference. So that's over $2500 I was out. Then in May I put in for 3 vacation days. I filled out all the paperwok and had it approved and I never got paid for it. They told me I could just keep the vacation days and use them later.
Now I get a call two weeks ago that my Grandmother died. So I tell work I need to fly back to RI for the funeral and I'd like to use my vacation days so I can get paid. They say they have a bereavment policy, and I'll get three days bereavment pay so I don't need to use my vacation days. Well I get my check today and NO Bereavement pay.
That makes the total money they owe me over $4000, in only ten months. WTF.
Anybody have any advice. If I get a new job I figure I can take them to small claims court. But since I still work there I don't want to cause to many problems and end up getting fired. The problems seem to be in the corporate office, because my manager is filling out the paperwork and sending the emails, but corporate is just blowing them off it seems. :mad:
