Can I make a complaint ?

Sign in to disble this ad
I worked at this chip stand for a month, and I got laid off. Two weeks after I started working there, I got my first pay check. Missing 20 hours, so I ask about it. They give it to me. Today I went to collect my second paycheck, missing 10 hours. Okay, I don't even work there, and I don't feel like wasting an hour and gas to go ask them. Of course I will 'cause it's 10 hours, but honestly, how can you forget 30 hours in a month ? Not only does that annoy me, I don't even think they considered the tip I made on my last day, neither did the extra half hours I did count on my pay ? This honestly pisses me off.

I've had it happen to me at my job right now. For some reason I was missing big chunks of hours throughout the week. One day I realized that my ID card (well one of them, I have several) was signing me in as a lady who didn't even work at my job anymore. It turns out they screwed up the employee number when they made me my name badge and it took me a month to realize it.

I got my money eventually, but it took almost 6 weeks for me to get it because the payroll lady is lazy as all hell.

I'd raise all sorts of hell over it, keep calling every day, if its franchised out, call the parent company, you still have time you put in that you were not paid for, you are entitled to that money.

I got shorted out of of a few hours when I started working. But apparently it was the accountants fault, and not the general managers.

Once again reality is completely different from what the movies and popular culture proclaim.
