I can’t make this up. The Office Manager TEXTED me this morning and said my “time card fell through the cracks” and I will be short 20 hours this paycheck. (She does payroll herself on Quickbooks.) She TOLD me to confirm in writing that that was ok or she would “try her best to start a new payroll.” I told her “Start a new payroll.” and I called her boss. Her boss didn’t answer because apparently they were on the phone and my Office Manager texted me 5 minutes later saying “you will get paid with the 20 hours included.”
She then victimized herself and said work has been -SO- busy with the end of the year reports and she was struggling. Ok so I wasn’t going to get paid because you failed to prioritize payroll for a 2 person office staff? Herself included.
About 2 weeks ago, she was doing payroll from home and said she couldn’t process mine because she didn’t have my time card. LUCKILY for her, I photocopy it for my own files and I sent her a picture of it to make sure I was paid. (And I was.)
What is going on here?! What is this? What am I dealing with? I updated my resume and applied to a few jobs. I don’t want someone to play games with my paycheck and I don’t want to have anxiety every 2 weeks wondering if I’m getting paid or if I’m going to have fight for my paycheck. WTF.
