The institutional incompetence ramps up this month in addition to the vacation bidding fiasco and the company not getting your FIFO award pay in by the 16th.

They also managed to not pay me for over 7 hours of middle seat deadhead (reported and approved middle seat dead head pf course), 2 unused SC's, 1 day off that I was flown into or any of my approved expense payments this month. I'd like to simply call it incompetence but I think that it is in all actuality a culture of fraud. If they do this every time some folks won't catch it and that is a bonus to the company.

How's your synergy working out now folks? I wonder is it time for a major, ugly and very public lawsuit yet? Stupid is one thing but this goes beyond innocent stupidity in my book.

McDonald's is facing several lawsuits alleging wage theft. (Liz O. Baylen / Los Angeles Times / August 29, 2013)



March 13, 2014, 10:05 a.m.
McDonald’s is facing several lawsuits filed this week by fast food workers who accuse the burger giant of systematically stealing their wages and committing other labor violations.
The suits, filed Wednesday and Thursday, are seeking class-action status.
Three complaints filed in the Bay Area allege that McDonald’s failed to pay employees for all hours worked, skimped on overtime wages and break time, and altered pay records.
A fourth case adds similar claims to a lawsuit already pending in Los Angeles County Superior Court against McDonald’s.
Two lawsuits in Michigan allege that workers reporting on time for duty were regularly forced to wait until customers showed up before clocking in for pay. The complaints also accused McDonald’s and its franchisees of requiring workers to buy their own uniforms, the cost of which pushed their real wages below the legal minimum.
A single complaint in federal court in New York alleges that McDonald’s did not reimburse employees for weekly costs of uniform cleaning, which plaintiffs argue violates state law.
McDonald’s did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
[Updated, March 13, 10:20 a.m.: McDonald's spokeswoman Heidi Barker Sa Shekhem said in a statement that the company is reviewing the allegations in the lawsuits.

Here's a good primer and a suggestion to chance your state laws regarding repayment. I've heard of guys agreeing to repayment, but on a favorable schedule of say $5/mo. Anything else would be a hardship

I got the same thing, some BS about over payment for training from 04/13.

I'm waiting on resolution for 4 pay claims from a recent diversion from Europe. Once that gets resolved and I get my pay sheet corrected per the UPA, then they can have theirs.

I'm in no rush.

I believe I am due 50% add pay for a deadhead reassignment
(arriving after sceduled arrival time) this month. It is not on my register. How do I proceed?

1. call payroll
2. file a pay claim now
3. file a pay claim after I get paid on the 16th of April

Serious question. Thanks.

File a pay claim now and simply ask the question. If you don't get a satisfactory response, call the pay desk directly AND file a PDR. If none of that helps, contact your CPO. If THAT doesn't work, contact the grievance committee about filing a grievance.

Sorry but I have to disagree with the above. Your pay is NOT a scavenger hunt. I go straight to the CPO it is the companies responsibility to pay you correctly make them do thier job!
