I've just mailed our payroll departement to get clarification on some things. Wait, who am I fooling here? I just want to know 1 thing : why the fuck is there no cash on my bankaccount? After months and months of problems with paychecks, it seemed to be getting a little better, and now this? Call me paranoid and extremely sensitive, but the least respect you can give your employees is to pay them on time and correctly. If that seems to be impossible, keep them informed and preferably do so in advance.
Depending on the answer that I may or may not get, I'm pondering whether or not I'll go to work tomorrow. While I know that not getting paid is not a legit reason not to show up for work, I've had it with salary related issues and I'm not taking shit from anyone anymore.
If no answer has arrived by noon, I'll call my chief, or the assistant chief and see if they have more information. Then I'll take it from there to see what needs to be done.
Update : My mail from 09:27 has just been read (10:50). Awaiting a reply...
Update 2 (13:00) : No answers so far. Just talked to a colleague who confirmed that others had the same "problem". However, he also said that it could be due to thursday being a public holiday, payroll probably taking an extra day off on friday to have a long weekend, and then sunday being a public holiday again. That can all very well be, but pardon me : it's bullshit. You know these public holidays are coming up, so you should get ahead, not postpone everything. If I have bills to pay - which I do - and a public holiday is coming up, I have to take that into calculation as well. I won't leave this as such...
Update 3 (13:30) : Just checked with my bank - it seems a payment has arrived. Still in doubt though whether or not I'll pursue this issue further.
I just got a video message from my godson Alex - it made my day!

awel ?
;)
btw: banks were not working on friday last week either; a company that treats its ppl should have made sure payment were done 2 days sooner as other months..............

Good to hear that the payment finally arrived... I hope you find collegues who support you and help you to convince the management that this can lead to dramatic situations in some peoples lives.
Anyway I certainly hope this won't happen to you again!
