I got my pay from Blockbuster!
Well, no actually, I didn't. I just wanted you to be happy so that you'd be more outraged when I tell you that I didn't get my paycheque and that it doesn't exactly look like it'll be coming any time soon.
I got an e-mail back from Scott in Human Resources, who had attached an e-mail from Phil in Payroll, illustrating where my pay had come from. It was a very pretty little spreadsheet, with all of my hours, and vacation, and money earned. Seriously, it was very well set up.
I was paid for two vacation days, as, apparently, that's all I had left. The only problem with that is that I had 10 left. 10. As in two weeks worth. Not two days.
Allow me to illustrate my reasoning for this (as no one at head office or store level seems particularly concerned with this). When it was decided that I was to drop down to a shift leader, I had 10 vacation days left. I was going to work three days a week and take two vacation days to make up my 44 hours, and at the end of two weeks, I would be paid out the remainder. I would have dropped down to a shift leader the same day as I quit, so it works out the same.
The First Week: I worked four shifts (yeah, that was fun with school) and took a stat day as my fifth day because of Labour Day.
Vacation Days Remaining: 10-0=0
The Second Week: My last week. I worked on Friday and Saturday, 13.55 hours total (oh, and an inventory as a last shift, not fun). I got 16 hours in vacation pay, to boost my hours to 29.55, which is what I was paid for.
Vacation Days Remaining: 10-2=8
And, of course, to rectify this problem, Scott has asked Elisa (who doesn't know me, and didn't know what I had worked out with Derrick) and Matt (who's not entirely of this world) to see if they can figure out what I'm missing. Oooh yeah, I can see this fixing itself up very nicely.
On a final note, I am still expecting to get my Blockbuster folding chair. I worked there for three years, damn it!
