1. the company doesnt have the crash to meet full payroll. instead of simply not paying some, they choose to skim off the top of some to make it look like an error.

2. the company wishes to withhold portion payroll and make money on that money knowing their employees wont/cant do anything about it.

either reason is extremely gutsy. however, you can almost certainly remove the first possibility because even bankrupt AA still meets payroll. thats how easy payroll is and AA knows if they start screwing with pay checks, all bloody hell will break loose. they actually know it and fear it.

the second reason is most likely the reason. plenty of companies practice this routinely... especially businesses that employ very low skill workers that lack the knowledge to calculate their pay, or the owners of the business are so far removed from the day-to-day operation that they dont worry about any sort of penalty or issues.

......your company is punking YOU. until you do something about, other than read union chants, it wont stop. your union could send 100 letters a day and it wont change anything....not until YOU do something about it. what YOU do is your own choice and there are serval effective things a large group of individuals can do.
