What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state?wi My employer, U.S. Postal Service, has goofed up my check twice in the last couple of months. They have provisions for "advancing" an employee cash amounts equal to a certain percentage of the "screwup", to be repaid when the next check arrives (hopefully including the backpay). As near as I can determine, however, the policies for granting these advances are arbitrary & capricious. In the 1st instance, they completely dropped my vehicle allowance (I drive my own truck on a rural route), amounting to $267. When I asked about an advance, I was told they don't give advances on vehicle allowance & I would have to wait 2 weeks (until next payday) to get it. Mind you, there was no disagreement on the amount or the fact that they made the error. In the most recent case, they "goofed up" both my vehicle allowance & my salary. Again, no dispute on the amount or who's at fault- AND again, some "mickey mouse" excuse (never fully explained) as to why they couldn't possibly give me an advance! My question: How can any employer LEGALLY admit fault & amount, then say " but we'll make it right when we get around to it!"? Also, once they take the initiative to set up this "advance" option, how can they LEGALLY discriminate between different categories of pay,reimbursement, etc.?
