I'm pretty upset, so forgive me in advance. In December, Honda Manufacturing's (yeah, that Honda) payroll system went down. For about a month, people just got paid for 40 hours, and if you worked overtime, you did not get paid and they said they'd give you your back pay when the system came back up. Keep in mind, this time period included a week's shut-down, where some people were forced to work the holidays with the knowledge they would receive another vacation day, as well as premium pay for working the holidays.
In the middle of January, they were able to cobble together a system and began to pay people for the hours worked and said we would see the back pay by February 18. Then they said March. Now they are saying April, but no actual date. When I talked to HR, and said I needed that pay they actually replied, “We owe 22,000 employees back pay, what makes you so special?” I am just seething.
