So long story short: last year my company lost their contract. We all had to get hired on with a new company or find new jobs. I and other employees suspected our checks were short for many reasons (worked OT but check was a normal one, worked Christmas but check was a normal week, was supposed to get a $500 bonus that also felt like a normal week) but had no way of verifying them. We have direct deposit, and the new company claimed they were “hacked” and could not access pay stubs. This lasted a month. The new app they got to replace that crashed before you could log in.
So I filed a complaint with the DWD, citing Labor Standards. This whole time I’m emailing HR trying to get my pay stubs, but it’s an excuse every time. Two months I’ve been trying at this point.
FINALLY, our useless HR person sent me a “history of pay” for 2021…only my rate of pay isn’t listed anywhere. I replied to her email pointing this out, to which she explained how to do the math. I know how to divide, I just don’t think I should. I have never seen or heard of a place that asks you to do your own math on pay stubs. Theres the issue with OT, Holiday, and this new company does things like “work 8 hours without a break, get one hour of straight time added to your wages”.
Back to the DWD complaint. They got back to me yesterday, and forwarded the company’s response to me. The company forgot to mention their app and website were inaccessible/inoperable every time someone tried to use it. The DWD says I have until the 17th to say I’m satisfied and everything is fixed.
I feel like my employer lied by not sharing that everything was down or crashing…for over a month. I’m also very hung up on the rate of pay thing…can I hit back and say I still don’t have the correct information listed on my pay stub? Is that even true of me to say?
Do employers by law have to have specifics listed on your pay stub, like how much your making per hour?
I’m in Wisconsin if it matters.
