This is an update to my other post about my manager changing my clock out time and lying through his teeth about it.
TIL version of the story so far
I work 10:30pm-6:30am. Always on time. Always leave on time or later (overtime) checked my timecard on the ADP app. It said I clocked out at 5:14am on the 18th. Which is not right, I know I left 6:40am that day. Coincidentally the same 72 hours I submitted an OSHA complaint and they got fined this happens. I also was about to go into over time. The money I was missing I NEEDED for rent. I worked for it.
So, as my manager wasn't helping besides saying someone must of accidentally used my clock in number (found out that was a lie) he couldn't tell me who or where, which would all be tracked via ADP. Red flag.
“sorry you can't pay your rent, your money will be on your next check” no. I wasn't taking that as an answer. I do not work for free.
I called my old manager, he was always more helpful. He said he'd get me the number to the main office payroll lady. I call her. Everything's going good, she's looking into it. She then tells me “the clock out was system generated” she couldn't tell me what that meant besides a “glitch” (yeah, right) and that I would get my money on Monday when the owner came back to town. Again, I wasn't taking that as an answer.
I asked her to please write me an email explaining why you can't pay me, why you're making me work for free, and why exactly this happened. Remember how I said the phone call was going good? Her tone COMPLETELY changed.
“I can probably write you an email”
I asked “why probably? I'd like a written record of why you're making me work for free”
“Uhmm uhmm, PermaBeebed, let me call you back in an hour”
10 minutes later, I get a text from her
“PermaBeebed, the rest of your check will be at the office at 3:30pm have a good weekend”
You're goddamn right it will lady. I basically had to bully these people into getting the money I worked for, and rely on to have a place to live.
I just submitted my retaliation report because of the timing of this was too perfect, and I believe it was intentional because they got fined by OSHA because of me. Her lack of wanting to give me details, a written explanation, if it will happen again, etc was just red flags all over in my head.
I'm pretty sure I made the owner drive 6 hours into town just to drop it off
ALWAYS KEEP TRACK OF YOUR TIMECARD. YOU DO NOT WORK FOR FREE
