So, today is payday, and I just went to the bank only to discover I hadn't been paid by my PS.

I know this is not normal. What could be the reason, and what should I do? Do you think it will post tomorrow?

Talk to whomever is supposed to be paying you. You should find out immediately right then and there why you weren't paid.

I work at public school and I haven't been paid today either.

I know that's not helpful in any way, but I just felt like sharing.

(Perhaps it's because they know that I'm not at school and I can't go to the administration office and stomp my hooves about it).

Hmm, I just talked to a friend and she hasn't been paid either.

I think they have to figure out your yearly tax bill this paycheck. My friend and I were paid, but it is less than normal, so they probably took the amount owing off for tax as well. Maybe an extra 50,000. Probably took them time to do all that math.... I'll see when I get my pay stub. Anyway, it was down to the wire, as in like 5:00 p.m.

At my PS, I get paid only when they remember to pay me. That's why every pay day, I visit the admin. centre and ask them for my pay.

I did it again today, I will check my bank balance this evening.

Oh, better check if that myself. Guarantee they forgot. It has only happened to me twice in a year. But it happened last vacation too.I don't know why they don't just put us on the payroll the same as the K-teachers.

Apparently, GEPIK has changed the pay date to the 17th for the 2009 contract.

I've checked my balance, they did pay me.

They didn't forget. You can't consistently "forget" something every month in perpetuity.
