I’m not sure how much of this I’m allowed to talk about so I’m going to try and keep it vague. I was supposed to receive a direct deposit payment on the 15th for the work I do for a company I “work” for (I’m an independent contractor who does remote work so I don’t know if that statement is correct but that’s how I can best describe it). I never received payment. I looked at my payment history spreadsheet which has documentation of my previous payments that are signed off by the person who is in charge of sending out digital checks and my payments that were due on the 15th have been left unsigned by the person in charge.
I texted someone who’s my higher up asking if they know if anything is going on with billing (the only reason I didn’t reach out to billing directly is because I know they usually have a lot on their plate and I feel bad for overwhelming them with more stuff). My higher up told me they’d reach back out to me today about it but that they know the person from billing is busy with other things this past weekend so it’d be better to circle back on Monday (today). I haven’t heard anything back yet and I’m starting to get nervous, I sent an email to billing this morning asking about it but I have yet to hear back from them either. I feel stuck and scared, I’m not sure why this is happening or what to even do. Does anyone have experience with this?
