Penalty pay

[BeachBoy]

So, they screwed me out of a day's pay back on the first of July. Reported it, nothing. Got a grievance filed, nothing, nothing, nothing. Now, almost 3 months later, I'm getting calls and texts from Supes saying they are gonna try to resolve this. The day I was not paid for is like $180 or so. The math I did shows the penalty pay around $2200 plus the day's pay. Does anyone have experience with this? Am I going to have to fight for the penalty pay when they finally make me right?

Yes, I had a driver that put $40.00 in gas into a vehicle that had no gas card in it and the ORS did not want to give up his card number. The final grievance amount paid out was over $800.00. Stick to your guns, the contract is on your side.

Penalty pay each day is half your days guarantee right...

 

[Up In Smoke]

One half your daily guarantee per pay period.

How are you coming to 2,200 in penalty pay?

 

[BeachBoy]

1.75 x 17.25 x 75

 

[542thruNthru]

So you make 17.25 a hour?

I'm guessing you are PT?

You might want to read this and check your math my friend.

 

[Up In Smoke]

1.75 x 17.25 x 75

??? At a full rate of $40.00 that's $160.00 per week. (easy math) So your out 14 pay periods??

 

[Gman33909]

And whats the max number weeks you can get penalty pay three months back?

Never heard of a maximum number of penalty.

There is no max number that I'm aware of.

You have to file for penalty pay each week . they don't just hand out 2200$ checks

 

[Maple Grove MN Driver]

Your math is wrong.
It is per pay period not per day.

 

[...]

I've never heard of that before. I always just filed on the specific shortage, asked for penalty pay in that one grievance, and all the weeks they failed to make things right were just paid out to me once the grievance was heard.

We always put "on going" where it asks for the date the grievance occurred.

Why is it my fault? i filed a grievance. I asked about it a few times. BA called me about a month ago and said yeah they agreed they owed me for christmas Day. I told him no, they owe me for Christmas Day and penalty pay. he sounded like he didn’t want to deal with it but he would go back and see what he could do. I’m giving him a little while longer and then I’m suing the union for fraud. I filed 4 grievances since then and none of them have been resolved. Our union sucks. I aleady talked to a lawyer
