...using pens, paper and telegrams and not modern technology that allows me to do things like transfer money instantly or spreadsheets which can be quickly updated & corrected?
So basically, the overtime I did at the end of December hasn't been put through, admin error which isn't my fault. I'm now being told by Payroll that even if my boss authorises it today (a full 8 days before pay day) it's "too late" and I won't get it until next month.
After a very expensive January this isn't really acceptable and will now mean I'll have to borrow towards the end of next month.
My question though is why do Payroll/HR still have rules in place that made sense 20 years ago but with today's technology/work practices seem simple. Surely it's as simple as typing a different number into some programme somewhere and correcting my pay amount surely?
Anyone who works in a payroll or similar and know why things like "cut-off" dates still exist?
