Seriously, though, lieutenants blaming HR and HR blaming lieutenants is very common. I remember dealing with that issue, back 20 years ago, when overtime was strictly voluntary. If you’re like me, you don’t care whose fault it is, you just want your money. That’s not asking for too much. Well, this is TDC. They feel like it is.
The Texas Workforce Commission is who you need to reach out to. They deal with this BS on a regular basis and they will fix your problem for you. That’s their job and they can usually fix it with a phone call. TDCJ does not want them all off in their business. No employer does.
Secondly, there are laws that govern the frequency of paydays. If an employer makes a mistake, that’s not your problem. That’s their problem and it’s up to them to make it right. The longer they take to fix it, the deeper that hot water gets. As much as TDC, would like for everyone to believe it, they are not above the law. The rules apply to these yahoos, just like they apply to everyone else.
Now, one thing you can do that will help prevent this is to stop by HR, at the end of the month. Have them look at your overtime and compare what they have, to what you show. It’s an easy fix, if you catch it, before the last day of the month. A signature will fix it and you’ll get your money on time.
If all else fails, snitch on those punks, to the Texas Workforce Commission!!! Drop a dime on those tricks!!!
