Luna's Adventures in Payroll

[Adios]

Please add 3 vacation days on my check so I can go to afford to go to the lake this weekend. I know it will put me at 64 hours but that shouldn't matter.

[LMNO]

I lost mine.  Can't I just call you and tell you how many hours I worked?

[AFK]

I was reading my e-mail while I was eating my sandwich.  So I can count that as work right?

Yep.  Heard that one.

It'll also overdraw you by 6 hours of vacation.

Sure.  Put your supervisor on the line, please.

Actually...  If it's your work e-mail, it does...

[Adios]

Why does my supervisor need to approve my time card? I already filled it out.

[Luna]

Because you're a lying fuckwit, and we both know it.

(Oh, sweet gods, this feels good...) 

[AFK]

This job sucks.  I quit.  Can I have my check now?

[Luna]

This job sucks.  I quit.  Can I have my check now?

Don't let the door hit you in the ass on your way out, and, no, you get your check with everybody else's next Friday.  If I'm in a GOOD mood, I'll get your vacation payout in that one, and if not, it'll be another two weeks.

Oh, and, you quit, which means you can't collect unemployment.

Today's added bit of joy.

This is a university, which means, during the summer, we cut WAY back on our dining staff.  (Minimal number of kids here, we don't need the full kitchen.)

Law in this state is that if you take a job at a school, and are laid off for the summer with reasonable assurance of reemployment in the fall, you can NOT collect unemployment.

So, now, just before graduation, we get a rash of mysterious, disabling injuries among the dining staff.  Departments where we go all year without an incident suddenly have three guys hurt themselves at once.

They go, collect TDI.  We fume, 'cause we can't prove shit.

[Luna]

Thank you, gentlemen, I feel much better.   

Back to it.

Sounds like a good way to give the state the finger.

As I was just told today.

Yes and no.  OUR rates go up because we have more injuries.

Also, we get to waste time every year because a half-dozen to a dozen nitwits file, anyway, and we have to take the time out to respond, "No.  He's not eligible.  Here's a copy of his letter saying, "see your ass back here in the fall."

Add in the fact that at least five or six of these people stay on the books all summer (with paid health insurance), then decide NOT to come back.

As I was just told today.

Also, student position, not eligible.

Sounds like state laws are fucked in the head.
