ASA Training Pay
Ok, end of day 1 at ASA. In my offer of employment letter, it states in the training notes that my pay will be "minimum guarantee of 75 hours at $23 per hour." In the first hour of class the instructor tells us that pay is $19 per hour, and that my letter was a mistake. He makes a copy of it and takes it to the higher ups who say they can't make a decision until the person in charge returns on Wednesday. I overheard him tell another ASA employee that HR was aware of the mistake and concerned about it, and do not know how to handle it, but immediately changed it on the form letter so no more letters with that error would go out. Most people in the class have a letter showing the 75/$19, but a handful of us have the 75/$23. Some said they were told $300/week. It seems that I'm the only one in the class who is pushing the issue to get paid what I was told I would. Seems to me that if that is what they put in my offer of employment package, that is what they are legally required to pay me. Anyone else in the past class or two go through this? Hopefully it will all be resolved on Wed. Outside of that and the fact that that they are phasing out all the ATRs with no plans to purchase any new airplanes, all seems ok.
