Besides, when the contract clearly states "March 1, 2011" that's the same as saying "whenever payroll gets around to it, maybe sometime in 2011"
And payroll is usually right on top of these things, like with our 401k matching and 70/90 blended rates...
I suspect it's another "We'll correct it on the 15th of next month because we won't finish paying everyone for February until the 15th of March, and we're too ________ (busy, understaffed, unmotivated, incompetent) to set the correct rate for this pay period, then change it again for the March 15th payroll, then change it again for the April 1st payroll."
"Even though that is what we agreed to do, and we've had five years to figure out how to honor our agreement."
P.S. Thanks to those who expressed appreciation for my previous post. I don't like writing things like that. I'd much prefer working for a cause that didn't require me to write like that. I wonder what it would be like to work for a company that had great leadership, some semblance of control over its destiny, and a bright future? It's been so long, I've forgotten what that was like.
