Unfortunately, I'm not union but I wish to dog I was... what makes this whole issue worse is I was verbally abused all day by the manager on duty for even suggesting the check was wrong... And I'd already knew to the penny what I should've been paid (I did payroll and benefits for almost 9 years in a previous life but where I'm located right now those positions are few and far between). I later got a call from my district manager advising I was correct and the check is short. The manager on duty also had to be told bc he had to look into past records for her and he THEN implied HEAVILY that I don't work hard enough for it. Here's the rub though - my manager over him is trying to promote me as I type this and we're just awaiting word that my new raise has gone through, lol. This guy had been verbally abusive in the recent past to me and other long term employees and I'm going to go ahead and turn his sorry behind in to the ethics line after the crap he put me through today. I've also started looking for other employment while on my break.

Thanks for listening and again, your help is very much appreciated
