Hello, hope it’s okay I ask this here. I tried legal advice but someone didn’t understand my question and it’s been hours and I’d like some guidance if possible.
I live in Indiana, and last Sep my work has offered an additional $100 if you sign up and work overtime. First it was Visa gift cards, then in Dec they changed to putting it directly on your paycheck. I have had no issue receiving the bonus until my upcoming pay period.
My pay period was Jan 29 – Feb 11, with payday being this Fri. I worked the volunteer overtime Feb 4 & 5, and was expecting to see the two bonus days on my upcoming check. However this morning only one showed. I asked about it and HR said they were paying bonuses until the 4th, anything after will be the next check. I met with a higher up and they explained that HR will do bonus incentives on the last Thu. So in this case the 9th. The higher up was confused why the bonus from the 5th wasn’t included.
Now why I’m asking about this is this is the sign states that employees who sign up and work will receive $100 on their next paycheck and they are not following what they stated. Now I’m just wondering is this something I can report or do anything about? It’s strictly a bonus, as far as hours worked it’s accounted correctly. I apologize for the long post and I’m on mobile. If there’s any questions please ask, otherwise I appreciate any advice on this.
