Rant: Work
I don’t much mind the random number of hours a week I get from work.
I don’t really mind the odd little methodologies we are supposed to employ.
I don’t put too much thought into the often lack-lustre performance from the Sales staff.
I don’t even mind when the ‘Tech Support’ staff diagnose any PC problem as a virus.
What I do find mildly annoying however, is when the pay officer of the company, servicing many hundreds of staff ( full-time & sub-contractors ), who cannot throw together one remotely coherant english sentance, fails to pay me on time.
If you read the sentance..“Paperwork for Work performed between X and Y must be submitted no later than 4 working days after Y in order to be included in the next pay period” You would tend to assume that you should get the paperwork in say, within 4 days of that miracle Y date, yes?
You would then assume, based on existing information, that handing all your paperwork in 1 day after Y would be in keeping with company policy, yes?
Apparently bloody not!!
So I get paid only the money owed to me from the last pay period that the pay officer had neglected to pay me, ( no real reason, they just occasional state ‘Payment Pending’ for up to months at a time ). $147 for the next fortnight… that’s before tax too..
This will not do……
